Description:
The use of the integral moments for interpreting magnetic data is based on a very elegant
property of potential fields, but in the past it has not been completely exploited due to problems
concerning real data. We describe a new 3-D development of previous 2-D results aimed at
determining the magnetization direction, extending the calculation to second-order moments
to recover the centre of mass of the magnetization distribution. The method is enhanced to
reduce the effects of the regional field that often alters the first-order solutions. Moreover, we
introduce an iterative correction to properly assess the errors coming from finite-size surveys
or interaction with neighbouring anomalies, which are the most important causes of the failing
of the method for real data. We test the method on some synthetic examples, and finally,
we show the results obtained by analysing the aeromagnetic anomaly of the Monte Vulture
volcano in Southern Italy.
