Nyeste erfaringer med processering af SkyTEM data Esben Auken • GeoFysikSamarbejdet • Geologisk Institut, Aarhus Universitet
Outline • What is in the database? • Pitch and roll correction • Data filtering • Summary
Ensuring Best Possible Data Quality • Obtain maximum information about formation resistivities • 5% data reproducibility of SkyTEM data on Lyngby test site • 5% repeatability at each take off and landing • Accurate data processing (and inversion) – the basis!
Data Basis • Data types measured by the system • GPS – 2 per sec. • Pitch and roll of transmitter frame – 1.5 per sec. • Laser altitude – 20 per sec. from two devices • Transmitter current – 1 per dataset • Single decays from 2 or more receiver channels – 40 -120 Mb per hour
Outline • What is in the database? • Pitch and roll correction • Data filtering • Summery
Data Processing • Voltage data and altitudes corrected with respect to the pitch and roll of the frame • Manual intervention is necessary for • Altitudes • Culling of distorted data caused by coupling to wires and fences • Data are not leveled (in the future - might be changed for very early times)
Altitude and Tilt Correction • ”Normal” situation
Altitude and Tilt Correction • ”Normal” situation
Altitude and Tilt Correction • ”Normal” situation – modelled in the inversion
Altitude and Tilt Correction • ”Field” situation
Altitude and Tilt Correction • ”Field” situation
Altitude and Tilt Correction • ”Field” situation
Altitude and Tilt Correction • ”Normal” situation – modelled in the inversion
Tilt data • 5 min 3.5 line km • Tilt of +/-10° 3% correction of voltage data y-tilt +/- 4° x-tilt +/- 8° Filtered
Raw Laser 1 Raw Laser 2 Removed by filtering Final – tilt corrected and relocated Removal of laser reflection from tree tops Correction of altitudes for tilt – non perpendicular reflections from the ground Relocation of altitudes to center of Tx and Rx coils Difference due to high y-tilt Laser reflections from tree tops Altitude Processing 5 min 3.5 line km

Trapezoid shaped average • combines the best from the narrow and the wide box average • used for SkyTEM data Trapezoid shaped average Box shaped average
Average Average Average Trapezoid shaped average
Trapezoid average - Sounding view Box average, medium width Trapezoid average
Trapezoid average - Sounding view Box average, medium width Trapezoid average High lateral resolution 4 gates culled Only 2 gates culled
Trapezoid average • At each time gate data are median filtered • The standard deviation is calculated from the remaining stack
Summary • Shallow part of model section/early time gates • maximum lateral resolution is obtain with a narrow data average • large data stack is not needed because of a high signal to noise ratio • Deep part of model section/late time gates • Wide data average suppress the background noise and increase penetration depth. • Wide data average does not reduce the lateral resolution • Trapezoid shaped average • maximum lateral resolution • maximum penetration depth
Width? 360 m 540 m
Coming up in the future • New tools for removing data directly from the GIS map • Better automatic filters for detecting coupled data • Major revision when the new multi-moment SkyTEM system is introduced
Summary • Quality of the data processing forms the basis for all subsequent use of the data • Pitch and roll is used to: • Calculate true altitudes • Perform first order correction for non-true z-receiver and transmitter • Coupled data are culled in the raw data - before inversion. How much to remove is dependent on the resistivity of the subsurface • Data average using trapezoid shaped filters and pruning
