A new strategy for aeromagnetic survey merging and application to Greenland
Aeromagnetic surveys help us to learn about geology. To achieve good coverage, surveys need to be merged. However, conventional methods introduce long-wavelength bias and cannot handle the individual survey quality. We develop a new approach to process large aeromagnetic surveys with an equivalent l...

Aeromagnetic surveys help us to learn about geology. To achieve good coverage, surveys need to be merged. However, conventional methods introduce long-wavelength bias and cannot handle the individual survey quality. We develop a new approach to process large aeromagnetic surveys with an equivalent layer approach and combine them with satellite data. To facilitate the usage of large data sets, we divide the study area into blocks and treat each block individually. We adjust the block size according to the resolution of the equivalent source model. Within each block we solve for equivalent sources using an iterative linear inversion with Tikhonov regularization. We apply a multi-resolution strategy by iteratively decreasing the dipole spacing, dipole depth and block size. In each step, the resolution is applied to the residual of the previous steps. This ensures both a good representation of the large and small-scale structures as well as reasonable computational costs. Advantages of the blockwise inversion are the handling with large data sets due to splitting up the study area and neglecting influences of sources above a certain distance.
