Summary
GlobalEM-2009-10×10 is a global 3D inverse model of electrical conductivity of the Earth’s mantle based on C-responses at ground geomagnetic observatories using the global electromagnetic inversion technique of Kelbert, Egbert and Schultz (2008). Uses a 10×10 degree grid and a degree and order 9 spherical harmonics parameterization at a discrete set of layers with layer boundaries (km) [100 250 410 520 670 900 1200 1600 2000 2400 2900 3500].

Short Description | Kelbert, Schultz, & Egbert (2009) inverted C-responses with the global electromagnetic inversion technique of Kelbert, Egbert and Schultz (2008). Uses a 10×10 degree grid and a degree and order 9 parameterization at a discrete set of layers with layer boundaries (km)[100 250 410 520 670 900 1200 1600 2000 2400 2900 3500]. Prior model was discretized from Kuvshinov and Olsen (2006): in log(10) resistivity, [2.2 2.2 2.2 1.4 1.4 0.4 -0.3 0 -0.6 -0.6 -0.6 -5]. Fits 52 ground magnetic observatories from Fujii and Schultz (2002) data set + 6 obs from Schultz and Larsen (1987) data set, 59 observatories total. The C-responses were corrected for auroral sources using a 1D + thinsheet at a 1×1 degree resolution; P10 source was assumption was employed for the inversion. |
