Conversion of Bouguer Gravity Data to Depth, Dip, And Density Contrast With Complex Attributes Analysis Technique in the Area of Greece.
Abstract
The complex attributes analysis is an operator used in the extracting parameters of the buried structures with susceptibility and density contrasts distributions, which lead to the gravity and magnetic anomalies in the region of interest. In this paper is presented the complex attributes analysis of gravity field filtered for wavelengths lower than 50 km in the territory of Greece. The area o Greece has a complex tectonic history and fault system dominated by the subduction of the African plate beneath the Euroasia. A Low-pass filter is used on the Bouguer Anomaly to cut off wavelengths lower than 50Km in order to delineate the major faults structures of interests at big depths. The complex attributes technique aids in interpretation of potential field anomalies, because it can delineate the edges of concealed targets. In obtaining the source parameters from the complex attributes like the local depth, strike and dip, the assumption of sloping contact for the subsurface model is used. The estimated local parameters are in agreement with results obtained by previous interpretations. They can be used in combination with other method to interpret the anomalous field.
