3D MT Modelling in West Greenland Considering the Influence of Fjord Systems and Ocean

Collecting magnetotelluric data in Greenland give rise to different challenges. Here we investigate one of the challenges, how a fjord system connected to the ocean can affect induction arrows around the fjord, by numerical simulations for periods of 1s, 10s and 100s. The results are induction arrow...

Description
Summary:Collecting magnetotelluric data in Greenland give rise to different challenges. Here we investigate one of the challenges, how a fjord system connected to the ocean can affect induction arrows around the fjord, by numerical simulations for periods of 1s, 10s and 100s. The results are induction arrows from a magnetotelluric data set collected in West Greenland in the summer 2013, with stations along the shoreline of the fjords between the towns of Kangerlussuaq and Aasiaat, see Figure 1. The setup consisted of 10 LMT stations on a 100 km profile with equipment kindly supplied by the GIPP at GFZ Potsdam (2015).
