f QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF MAGNETIC ANOMALIES IN THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN: A REVIEW

Magnetic anomalies observed in the Eastern Mediterranean are characterized by strongly inclined magnetization (about 45o). It should be noted that the method “reduction to pole”, which often are used in the conditions of inclined magnetization, is limited by situation when all disturbing bodies in the studied area are magnetized parallel to the geomagnetic field and have subvertical dipping. Only in this case the magnetic fields recalculation will be correct and the obtained graphs will be symmetric and then may be used for further interpretation by conventional methods. Other disturbing factors are rugged terrain relief, unknown level of the normal magnetic field and complex geological media.
