Adding Corrections to Apparent Conductivity Values Measured in Low-frequency Induction Profiling

An analysis of conditions, under which formulas for apparent conductivity were derived for low-frequency induction measurements, was made. The values of errors resulting from nonfulfillment of the asymptotic conditions were evaluated for measurements made with ground conductivity meters produced by the Geonics Ltd. A concept and way of adding corrections to measured values of apparent conductivity are presented. Examples of correcting apparent cnductivity values obtained both from terrain measurements and mathematical modeling are given.
