An equivalent source method for removal of attitude-induced responses in drone-towed magnetic scalar gradiometry data
Drone-towed scalar field gradiometry surveys conducted in windy conditions or under self-excited oscillations generate attitude-induced responses that can hinder the geological interpretation. Here, we present a gradiometric equivalent source method (GESM) to remove these attitude-induced responses...
