Reduction to the Pole

Reduction to the Pole#

This function reduces a magnetic dataset to the pole. This shifts the magnetic anomaly directly over the source resulting in a symmetric anomaly shape that is simple to interpret. However, it is only effective if the source body is not remanently magnetised.

The parameters on the interfaced are:

  1. Band to Reduce to the Pole – The band name is directly extracted from the raster file. In the case of a multiband raster dataset the user can specify which band contains the magnetic data that must be processed.

  2. Inclination of the Magnetic Field – Magnetic inclination at the date of the survey.

  3. Declination of the Magnetic Field – Magnetic declination at the date of the survey.
