It is converted into an apparent CAGKIARD resistivity and phase: or alternatively into the depth of a perfect substitute con.ductor and a modified apparent resistivity : which'can be combined'into a local depth versus apparent resj-sti- x X vity profile p (z,, , y). 11 If the magnetic variation anomaly rather than the geoelectric field has been observed, the anomalous part of El! can be derived by integration over the anomaly of the vertical magnetic varia-tions, w11il.e the normal part of E,, is calculated from the normal impedance outside of the anomaly or derived theoretically for a hypothetical normal resistivity model: or in terms of transfer functions with respect to H n l ' using for the transfer function of H the nota-tj.ons of page 113. az Magnetotelluric and geomagne-tic depth sounding data along a profi1.e are in this way readily converted either into CAGNIARD r~esistivity ,and phase-contours in frequency--distance coordina.i-es , 'if into lines of , depth-of-penetration z at a gi.ven frequency, % or into modified apparent-resis.tivi-ty- contours in a z -distance cposs-section Either one of these plots will outline the frequency range, respectively the depth range, i.11 which the source of the anomaly can be expected to lie, and provide a rough idea about the resistivities like1.y to occur within the anona1.ous zone,
