Record 2 1977-11-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geophysics
  • Geological Research and Exploration
OBS

The instruments used for magnetotelluric measurements of resistivity are simple in principle, consisting of separate sensors and recorders for the alternating electric and magnetic fields (...) The oscillatory electric fields are recorded by nonpolarizing porous-pot electrodes made up of cadmium immersed in cadmium chloride solution. The magnetic signals are sensed by induction coils containing up to 30,000 turns of copper wire wound around a core of molybdenum and permalloy 6 ft long and 1/2 in diameter. A special chopper-type preamplifier is used in recording the magnetic oscillations.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Géophysique
  • Recherches et prospections géologiques
OBS

L'appareillage de la méthode magnéto-tellurique se compose de trois électrodes non-polarisables, d'un récepteur comprenant un système d'amplification stabilisé et à courant continu, d'un filtre accordable et d'un voltmètre pour capter le champ électrique. Les variations du champ magnétique sont captées à l'aide de deux bobines (...)

Record 3 1977-11-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geological Research and Exploration
  • Geophysics
OBS

In equipotential surveys the earth is energized with a pair of primary electrodes, about 2000 ft apart; across which a high-power gasoline generator maintains a voltage of around 200 volts.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Recherches et prospections géologiques
  • Géophysique
OBS

L'appareillage de la méthode des lignes équipotentielles requiert une génératrice de courant alternatif à basse fréquence, au moins quatre électrodes métalliques, du câble, un voltmètre pour champ alternatif. Si on emploie du courant continu au lieu d'un courant alternatif, on utilise des piles sèches de haute tension au lieu de la génératrice et un voltmètre de champ continu.
