Title:
POTENTIAL FIELD DATA SURVEY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/004181
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method of conducting a potential field survey of a survey surface, the method comprising following a set of paths along an observation surface at an observation height above the surface survey and measuring potential field data at points on said paths, wherein said set of paths comprises at least one reference path and a plurality of survey paths associated with said at least one reference path wherein the distance between each of the plurality of survey paths and the reference path is a function of the observation height. Said set of paths may define a generally fan-shaped pattern diverging from a common region.
