On the quantitative interpretation of magnetic anomalies by pseudo- gravimetric integration

Poisson's theorem relates linearly the derivative of the gravity potential (taken along the total magnetization vector direction) and the magnetic potential due to a common, isolated source with constant density and magnetization distributions. From that theorem, two very useful functionl transformations for magnetic anomalies were formulated by Baranov, that is the "pseudogravimetric integration' and the "reduction to the pole'. In this paper, it is shown that the first transformation is, in some sense, more useful than the reduction to the pole and, further, that its utilization presents noticeable advantages as regards the interpretation of magnetic anomalies. -from Author
