The fo1.lowing rnodel j.s the basis ~fall e1ectromagne'ti.c lne-thods<br />

which try to infer the electrical conductivity stl2ucture in the<br />

Earth's subsurface from an anal.ysis of the natural or art.lfici.a~l<br />

electromagnetic surface field: On or above the surface of -the Earth<br />

is situated a tine-dependent electr'omagnetic source. By Fiiraday's<br />
