摘要:
The invention relates to a device and method for determining a local geomagnetic disturbance at mid-latitudes, by eliminating the different undisturbed geomagnetic field components, which solves the existing problems in the known prior art. For this, the invention describes a model of a day of mid-latitude geomagnetic quiet for the horizontal geomagnetic field component (H). The method involves a quiet day or disturbed day characterisation using an evaluation of the goodness-of-fit of the invented model to the data measured for the local horizontal magnetic field component, once an auxiliary trend curve of the night values has been subtracted. The method can be carried out in the device in order to determine a local geomagnetic disturbance in real time.

A method to determine the earth's magnetic field vector along a sub-surface wellpath having unknown and possibly changing azimuth, in the presence of a magnetic disturbance caused by a magnetic source external to the wellpath includes estimating the three components of the earth field along the three axes of a magnetic sensor package by a polynomial function of measured depth along the wellpath. Upon removal of the earth's magnetic field from the measurements, the resultant magnetic field of the disturbance is determined and can be used to determine the position and orientation of the source of the disturbance.

In some embodiments, an apparatus and a system, as well as a method and an article, may operate to acquire a first signal from a first magnetometer at least partially disposed within a Helmholtz coil, to acquire a second signal from a second magnetometer having a sensitivity at least one thousand times less than the first magnetometer, to process the second signal to determine a drive signal, to drive the Helmholtz coil using the drive signal so as to null an ambient Earth magnetic field surrounding the first magnetometer, and to process the first signal as one of a down hole location signal or a down hole telemetry signal, the location signal to determine a range to a sub-surface object, and the telemetry signal to provide data from down hole drilling operations. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

A method and a device for implementing the method, for geophysical surveying of an area (1) comprising continuous measurement of the earth's magnetic or electromagnetic field using a detector (6) held at a constant height (E) above the ground surface, in the order of one metre, while traversing in a criss-cross manner over the area (1) at speeds below a maximum speed (S), in the order of 10 km/h, and utilising measured signal frequencies below a cutoff (F), being approximately the maximum speed (S) divided by twice the detector height (E), to indicate spatial changes in the measured field. Traversal distance can be measured on board the host vehicle and a real time output supplied. Simultaneously, using the same detector (6) and artifically induced magnetic fields generated by an inductive (2b and/or galvanic source (2a)), temporal field changes of frequencies above the cutoff (F) can be measured and simply filtered out of the detector's (6) output for separate processing and storage. Temporal field changes below the cutoff (F) can be detected by a synchronised stationary detector inputting to the processing equipment (10) so as to subtract such signals from the signals used to measure spatial field changes.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for detecting magnetic and electromagnetic waves or fields through use of non-superconducting materials. The present invention relates to apparatus which are used to measure such fields in order to predict earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other violent earth movements which generate substantial aberrations in magnetic and electromagnetic fields. The present invention can be used to detect any fluctuating magnetic or electromagnetic fields regardless of their origin. The present invention incorporates the use of antennae for the electromagnetic components and coils to detect magnetic fields, in conjunction with electronic elements involving amplification, smoothing elements, frequency response networks, networks to make frequency response uniform within the band and notch filters where necessary.
