Abstract:

This paper analyses the iterative method used in the RTP at the magnetic equator, focusing on the key factor in the iteration: the choice of mapping function of the raw data to the target data. This method is extended to other low latitude regions by changing the mapping function, and the condition of convergence at different magnetic latitudes is given. Applications to synthetic and field magnetic data sets show that the improved method is effective for both the other low latitude regions and the magnetic equator, and the efficiency of the iterative calculation is improved.

Key words: magnetic anomaly, RTP by iterative method, mapping function, condition of convergence
