Tipper Data
The magnetotelluric tipper is a complex number based on a ratio of the amplitudes of the
horizontal magnetic fields (Hx and Hy) and the vertical magnetic field (Hz). The tipper values Tx
and Ty are complex numbers. Various tipper parameters are offered by MtPro. These include
the following selections: Tipper Magnitude, Tipper Phase, Tipper Strike, Tipper Coherence,
Tipper Skew, and Tipper Beta.
It is beyond the scope of this manual to explain the geophysical uses of these functions.
However, the most commonly viewed tipper functions are the magnitude and phase, as shown
below.
For the Geode EM3D the vertical magnetic field, Hz, is generally measured by the G100K high-
frequency coil. The lowest practical frequency of the G100K coils is 10 Hz. Therefore, the
practical range of tipper values is between 10 to 20,000 Hz.
