While the 1995 MT work mainly focused on the study of the electrical structure of the Yarlung\|Zangbo River Suture , the 1998 and 1999 experiments have been designed with following purpose:(1) Study whether partially molten layer widely exists in the crust of the central and northern Tibet.(2) Study the electrical structures of crust and upper mantle in central and northern Tibet which may relate to the attenuated Shear Seismic waves.(3) Study the detail electrical structures of Bangong\|Nujiang Suture and Jinsha Suture.In 1998, the MT team (China University of Geosciences, University of Washington and Geological Survey of Canada) recorded MT data along the Tibet 500 Line which extends about three hundred and eighty kilometers from Deqing to Longweicuo. We used LIMS system to record the long period(20～20000s) MT data at twenty\|six sites and used MT24 to record broadband(320Hz,2000s) MT data at fifty\|eight sites.展开更多
