Two special types of such anomalies can be distinguished. If the electric vector of .the primary fields is linearly polarized in x-direction, i.e. and consequently E = (E , 0, 0) -n nx H = (0, H , Hnz), -n nY the anomaly has an electric vector likewise only in x-direction: because the flow of eddy currents will not be changed in direction. Hence, the anomalous field is a TE-field - This polarisation of the primary field vector is termed 3ol.arisati If the electric vector of the primary field is 1inearl.y polarised in y-direction, the normal field is and consequently E = (0, Eny' 0) -n H = (H 0, 0) -n nx' provided that its depth of penetration is small in comparison to its reciprocal wave number, yielding H = 0. Only with this con- the n z straint is flow of eddy currents to vertical planes x = const. and the resulting anomalous field w i l l be a TM-fie1.d - with zero magnetic field above the ground: E = (0, E -a ayy Eaz) H = (Hax, 0, 0). -a This pola.risation .of the primary field is termed "H-polarisation". - -.
