RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 XU, BIWEN A1 NOEL, MARKYR 1993 T1 ON THE COMPLETENESS OF DATA SETS WITH MULTIELECTRODE SYSTEMS FOR ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY SURVEY JF Geophysical Prospecting, VO 41 IS 6 SP 791 OP 801 DO https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2478.1993.tb00885.x PB European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers, SN 1365-2478, AB Abstract This paper describes how, using a surface linear array of equally spaced electrodes, potential data can be obtained for use in electrical resistivity imaging. The aim is to collect a complete data set which contains all linearly independent measurements of apparent resistivity on such an array using two‐, three‐ or four‐electrode configurations. From this primary data set, it is shown that any other value for apparent resistivity on the array can be synthesized through a process of superposition. Numerical tests show that such transformations are exact within the machine error for calculated data but that their use with real field data may lead to noise amplification., UL https://www.earthdoc.org/content/journals/10.1111/j.1365-2478.1993.tb00885.x
