A discussion of bias in magnetotelluric responses
Magnetic-field noise biases magnitudes of magnetotelluric response functions such as resistivity, impedance, and the induction vector (tipper). This is particularly severe in the so-called dead band between about 1- and 10-s periods. The standard approach to remove these biases is to use a magnetic...
