航磁三轴梯度转换全张量梯度及应用（英文）

Full magnetic gradient tensor from triaxial aeromagnetic gradient measurements:Calculation and application

磁张量梯度能提供地磁场矢量在三维空间的变化率信息,对地质构造研究、资源勘查、地磁导航等具有重要意义。但目前工程技术条件下磁张量梯度测量在却很难实现,为此本文提出一种使用航磁三轴梯度资料计算磁张量梯度的方法,满足无法直接测量全张量梯度情况下对资料的需求。区别于单轴航磁梯度转换全张量梯度的方式,该法使用航磁三轴梯度数据进行转换,能充分利用磁异常模量在三维空间上的变化信息,获得自洽的磁张量梯度。理论模型计算表明该转换方法获得的全张量梯度数据具有较高的数值精度,能够满足实际资料处理的要求。我们选取河北保定地区实测的航磁三轴梯度资料进行全张量梯度资料转换,实际资料处理结果表明,联合三轴梯度进行全张量梯度转换能够有效利用磁异常在全空间的变化信息,压制三轴梯度资料中部分相互独立的噪声,从而提升转换后全张量梯度资料的品质,转换得到的航磁全张量梯度可作为一种地球物理场资料供地质解释使用。

The full magnetic gradient tensor （MGT） refers to the spatial change rate of the three field components of the geomagnetic field vector along three mutually orthogonal axes. The tensor is of use to geological mapping, resources exploration, magnetic navigation, and others. However, it is very difficult to measure the full magnetic tensor gradient using existing engineering technology. We present a method to use triaxial aeromagnetic gradient measurements for deriving the full MGT. The method uses the triaxial gradient data and makes full use of the variation of the magnetic anomaly modulus in three dimensions to obtain a self-consistent magnetic tensor gradient. Numerical simulations show that the full MGT data obtained with the proposed method are of high precision and satisfy the requirements of data processing. We selected triaxial aeromagnetic gradient data from the Hebei Province for calculating the full MGT. Data processing shows that using triaxial tensor gradient data allows to take advantage of the spatial rate of change of the total field in three dimensions and suppresses part of the independent noise in the aeromagnetic gradient. The calculated tensor components have improved resolution, and the transformed full tensor gradient satisfies the requirement of geological mapping and interpretation.
