摘要

In typical volcanic-hosted geothermal settings, geophysicists have long noted that the measured magnetotelluric (MT) data include natural responses from topography and other "distortion" from near-surface resistivity variations, complicating the interpretation of MT responses from deeper features of exploration interest. Following earlier work considering the 3D response from rugged terrain we have analyzed galvanic distortion and the problem of separating the effects from geological structure in 3D inversion modeling. Direct inversion for distortion, which is mathematically represented by frequency-independent real-valued 2×2 matrices multiplying the undistorted impedances, reduces the structural impact from distorting structures in 3D inversion. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated with synthetic examples and on a real dataset from the Darajat field. These also show that the recovery of the input distortion parameters depends significantly on the chosen model regularization controlling shallow model smoothness. Furthermore, a distortion term that is added to the objective function quantifies the estimates' deviation from a neutral identity matrix via a multiplicative parameter. This turns out to be a useful means to control the overall absolute level of estimates in real data inversion. We conclude that inversion for galvanic distortion is a valuable tool in addressing observed distortion effects in MT data, but is no golden bullet to fully isolate it, which remains impossible without further information. In a related exercise we quantified the consideration of finite electric dipole lengths from the point measurement assumptions in MT inversion modeling. Electric fields are measured across dipoles of typically 50m to 200m at MT soundings. Modeling algorithms, however, normally use point electric field values at the surface of single cells to calculate MT transfer functions. This is perfectly reasonable for the majority of cases, but there are situations with strong shallow variability of resistivity, where available detailed information might not be used optimally. We explore the consequences or this omission by quantifying the difference between point solutions and electric field integrations across dipoles in 3D forward calculations for selected cases. The topic ties closely with galvanic distortion and inversion for related parameters, lateral magnetic field variations, and the benefit of providing shallower constraints for the imaging of deeper targets. As a side product, the analysis led us to focus on the fields output from the 3D modeling, and we illustrate electric current systems through the cases analyzed. We observe that in the presence of strong topography and outcropping inhomogeneities, finite dipole solutions can differ considerably from point solutions, while over a variable regolith case the effect appears more contained.
