Summary | I have analyzed the marine magnetotelluric data from Tristan da Cunha to understand the trend of apparent resistivity, phase, and vertical magnetic function data. I created a non-conforming hexahedral mesh of various dimensions and prepared the dataset for 3D inversion for various settings of the error floor. I performed several 3-D inversions to obtain the optimum values of inversion parameters. For inversion analysis, I calculated the topographic responses using Usui (2021) and compared them with the responses from Grayver (2015) and forward responses from the method used in Baba et al. (2017). I compared the responses for all the sites from the three methods and established any correlation of the responses with respect to the topography effects on the sites. Subsequently, I performed the 3D inversion of marine MT data from the study area to image the electric structure of the present study area. |
