Different forward modelsΒΆ

This study has been demonstrated in the EMagPy paper McLachlan et al. (2021).

EMagPy proposes different forwardModel. Differences between CS-ECa, FSeq-ECa and LIN-ECa for a homogeneous and a heterogeneous case are illustrated below. (a) shows the differences over a homogeneous medium with increasing EC, (b) shows the differences over an increasing homogeneous medium when the device is operated at 1 m, (c) shows the differences over a heterogeneous medium with a fixed layer 1 thickness of 0.5 m and a fixed EC of 50 mS/m, and (d) shows the differences over a heterogeneous medium with a fixed layer 1 thickness of 0.5 m and a fixed EC of 50 mS/m when the device is operated at 1 m elevation. In all figures h is the device height above ground level.
