* Separating regional and local magnetic signals What can you tell me about this magnetic map? Where is it? What kind of sources? Is there a range of depths? What do you see on the contours that you missed on the image map? Anything new on the surface map? Upward Continuation Provides Separation Qualitative Depth Estimation The rules of thumb from Jacobsen (1987): To extract (isolate) a regional field at a depth of z0, upward continue the observed field to 2*z0. In the wavenumber domain, the optimal filter for that extraction is: Breg(k) = exp(-2 k z0) You can then subtract this region
