Fig. 10.27.: Results of the second 3D inversion sequence with (a) the lowest misfit model with the highest model roughness, (b) the<br />

model with the lowest misfit for a slightly lower roughness, and (c) the lowest roughness model (cf. Fig. 10.25); RMS misfits and<br />

model roughness values are shown in the box at the bottom-right of this Figure. Models are displayed, from left to right, by a vertical<br />

slice parallel to the N-S axis, i.e. approximately parallel to the PICASSO Phase I profile (left-hand plot); a vertical slice through the<br />

central area of the profile, parallel to the E-W axis (middle plot); and a horizontal slice through the model at 50 km depth (right-hand<br />

plot); relative positions of the slices are indicated in the overview plot at the top-right of this Figure.<br />

depth, hence the exponential decrease of electric resistivity in the lithospheric-mantle,<br />

varies between models (cf. Fig. 10.30) allowing for an assessment of LAB depths beneath<br />

the Tajo Basin in terms of RMS misfit for the different forward models. Further, a<br />

model is created by assigning electric resistivity values to the lithospheric-mantle region<br />

beneath PICASSO Phase I profile that were obtained for the outer regions of the Tajo<br />

Basin; i.e. beneath stations pic001 – pic003 and beneath stations pic019 and pic020 (the<br />

related model is labelled ‘sidelobe’ in Figure 10.30).<br />

For each LAB depth as well as the ‘sidelobe’ model, two additional models are created<br />

in the form of an electrically conductive asthenosphere (20 Ωm for regions below the<br />

respective LAB) or in form of an electric uppermost asthenosphere anomaly (two rows of<br />

20 Ωm immediately below the lithosphere and a 100 Ωm halfspace below); indicated by<br />
