Apparent resistivity tensor
Journal Article
·
· Geophysics; (United States)
The scalar apparent resistivity was originally defined for simple linear electrode resistivity arrays. With the extension of resistivity surveying into bipole-dipole arrays, several different and not obviously related definitions of apparent resistivity have been used by different authors despite similar field procedure. This note shows that, when a pair of current sources (or quadripole source) is used, and the corresponding electric field vectors are measured at each field station, the most comprehensive expression of the reduced data is as an apparent resistivity tensor. Other definitions of apparent resistivity can be simply related to this tensor. 2 figures. (RWR)
