抄録

A linear approximation is developed for the equation of conduction in a medium where resistivity is an arbitrary function of x, y, and z. This is applied by assuming the earth to be subdivided into small, homogeneous blocks of arbitrary resistivity. Under this approximation, the apparent resistivity is just the sum of the effects of the individual blocks. The equations are linear, and surface apparent resistivity data can be inverted to yield block resistivities. The quality of the approximation has been checked by comparison with model measurements in two situations: remote current source (telluric method), and local current source (resistivity method). It was found that the results are satisfactory provided that the proper type of expression is used for the effect of the resistivity contrast of each block.
