MT forward modeling of 3-D anisotropic electrical conductivity structures using the Rayleigh-Fourier method

We present an algorithm for modeling the magnetotelluric response of three-dimensional multilayered structures with irregular interfaces. In this formulation, based on a Rayleigh-Fourier technique, the effect of vertical anisotropy in the electrical conductivity has also been included. This method h...
