Application of modified centroid method based on fractal distribution of sources to the Indian Magnetic data

The conventional centroid method of depth estimation from magnetic data assumes random uniform uncorrelated distribution of sources. A new method known as modified centroid method based on fractal distribution has been proposed. This method does not require pre-filtering of the data for computing the depth values. In this study we applied the method to the aeromagnetic data of central Indian. The depths to the bottom of magnetic sources correlate well with other geophysical results in the region.
