3.2.3. PF Weights¶
Gravity inversion has a tendancy place anomalous bodies near the observation locations due to high sensitivities. The executable pfweight_60.exe creates a depth-based or distance based weighting to counteract these effects. The lines of input file for the executable are as follows:
Line # |
Description |
Description |
---|---|---|
1 |
MAG, GRAV or GG |
|
2 |
mesh file |
|
3 |
survey or observations file |
|
4 |
topography |
|
5 |
depth or distance weighting |
|
6 |
Weighting parameters or null |
An example of the input file for creating weights is shown below.
3.2.3.1. Line Descriptions¶
Type: in this case, enter a flag of GRAV
Tensor Mesh: file path to a tensor mesh file
Data File: file path to the observations file
Topography: there are two options for defining the topography.
type null for no defined topography (all cells are active)
provide the filepath to to a topography file
Weighting type: An integer type specifying if depth or distance weighting is being created.
1: for depth weighting (not applicable to borehole data)
2: for distance weighting
alpha z0: Parameters for the depth or distance weighting being applied. Use the flag null if you would like to use standard values for the paramters. To see how these parameters impact the inversion and to see a default set of values, consult the theory section.
