A MATLAB PROGRAM FOR THE ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF TRANSIENT ELECTROMAGNETIC SOUNDING DATA
(EN)
Tzanis, Andreas
Herein we present a software system, written in MATLAB, to interpret TEM sounding data. The program, dubbed maTEM, is designed to process, model and invert multiple soundings, either individually, or simultaneously along profiles. The latter capability allows for laterally constrained inversion, so as to generate pseudo-2D or 2D resistivity sections based on the program EM1DINV v2.13 by the Hydro-Geophysics Group of the University of Aarhus, Denmark. Using maTEM, the analyst may import and display data multiple data sets, denoise and smooth the data, perform approximate inversions, design 1-D model(s) graphically, perform forward modelling and inversion and generate/ update data base in which to store the results. Finally, the analyst may use the data base to create 2-D and 3-D displays of the geoelectric structure with built-in graphical functions. maTEM is highly modular so that additional functions can be added at any time, at minimal programming cost. Although the software presented herein is focused on the analysis of TEM data, the maTEM concept has been designed ready to incorporate additional electrical and EM geophysical sounding methods and to mutually constrained analysis of different geophysical data sets.
