Abstract
Procedures are formulated using the correlation factors between successive least-squares residual magnetic anomaly profiles due to long horizontal cylinders for interpreting the three principal anomalies (vertical, horizontal, and total). It is demonstrated that correlation values can be used to determine the depth to the center of the buried structure and the index parameter. Procedures are also formulated to estimate the amplitude coefficient. Two worked examples using theoretical data show the effectiveness of the present method.
