2 Outline 1 Magnetic Acquisition 2 Goal of our Project 3 Derivation 5 Real Applications Pacific Antarctic Ridge Mid-Atlantic Ridge 6 Limitations 4 Our MATLAB Process 2
3 Magnetic Acquisition MORB (Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalts) contain magnetic grains As basalt cools, the magnetizations within the magnetic grains align themselves with the magnetic field Latitudinal dependence Magnetic Acquisition 3
4 Magnetic Acquisition Magnetic Acquisition 4
5 Goal of Our Project Modeled Magnetic Profile Observed Seafloor Magnetic Profile Goal 5
6 Goal of Our Project C = constant µ 0 = magnetic permeability k = wavenumbers k = (-nx/2 : nx/2-1) / L L = spreading rate * total time z = depth = 3000m θ = skewness p(k) = Fourier of geomagnetic timescale Goal 6
7 Goal of Our Project C = constant µ 0 = magnetic permeability k = wavenumbers k = (-nx/2 : nx/2-1) / L L = spreading rate * total time z = depth = 3000m θ = skewness p(k) = Fourier of geomagnetic timescale Goal 6
8 Step 1: Calculate the Scalar of the Anomaly A Ideal towed magnetometer measures: Most magnetometers measure scalar field On Earth, B e 50,000nT while ΔB 300nT Derivation 7
9 Step 2: Account for Seafloor Spreading Define scalar potential (U) and magnetization (M) Define: Derivation 8
10 Step 2: Account for Seafloor Spreading Potential satisfies Laplace s equation above source layer and Poisson s equation within source layer Derivation 9
11 Step 2: Account for Seafloor Spreading 2 nd terms can be eliminated because source does not vary in the y-direction thus derivative = 0 Derivation 10
12 Step 2: Account for Seafloor Spreading Boundary Conditions: Basic Double Fourier Transform: Applied to this problem: In the x direction: In the z direction (use identity): Derivation 11
13 Step 2: Account for Seafloor Spreading Fourier Transform Result Solve for U(k) Inverse Fourier using Cauchy Residue Theorem Derivation 12
14 Step 2: Account for Seafloor Spreading To solve integral, calculate the poles of the integrand Factor: Solve over closed loops: Derivation 13
15 Step 2: Account for Seafloor Spreading Combine integrands and drop k subscripts : To simplify: assume the spreading ridge is located at Earth s magnetic pole, the dipolar field lines will be parallel to the z-axis, thus no x-component Derivation 14
16 Step 3: Calculate the magnetic anomaly Recall: Substitute with evaluated U: Recall: Since only the z-component of Earth s magnetic field is non-zero due to our assumptions, the anomaly simplifies to: * Derivation 15
17 Step 3: Calculate the magnetic anomaly Take into account upward continuation * Derivation 16
