Abstract
En 中文
We present a multidimensional inversion methodology for loop source time-domain electromagnetic data. The developed algorithm is a robust, efficient, and user-oriented tool for the multidimensional inversion of typical loop source time-domain electromagnetic configurations. A time-domain finite volume (FV) method and a direct solver are utilized for solving the 3-D forward problem, while the iterative Gauss-Newton (GN) optimization method is implemented for the inversion kernel. The code is parallelized for calculating multiple sources simultaneously to accelerate the inversion. Based on different exploration tasks, we present three different inversion experiments on typical field scales for commonly used loop source TEM configurations. These examples verify the effectiveness and benchmark the developed 3-D algorithm. Considering that TEM data are often gathered along profiles, we carried out an analysis using the 3-D inversion algorithm for 2-D data by adjusting the model roughness along the different domain directions, which seem to sufficiently constrain but not over-regularize the model along the strike direction to retrieve the true model structure. Besides using the vertical signal component for large-scale moving and fixed loop configurations, the horizontal components are also included in the 3-D inversion. The inversion algorithm is further verified with dense boat-towed central loop TEM data recorded on a volcanic lake in the Azores, Portugal. The reconstructed model is consistent along the profile line and the main features agree with the 1-D stitched models. Moreover, the 3-D model depicts additional reasonable features not visible in the 1-D models.
