Fourth Magnetotelluric Data Interpretation Workshop
MT-DIW4

Hotel Caraiman
Sinaia, Romania, 15th - 16th August, 1998

The workshop was held on the 15th and 16 of August, 1998, in the Caraiman Hotel in the Central Park of Sinaia. It was organised jointly by Prof. Dumitru Stanica and Prof. Alan Jones.

Arrival day in Sinaia is August 14th. It is expected that all participants will attend the Sinaia EM workshop which begins on August 17th.

For this MT-DIW, two datasets will be examined.

COPROD2S is a synthetic dataset created by Ivan Varentsov and consists of two sets. COPROD2S1 is error-free, whereas COPROD2S2 contains added noise and static shifts.

The other is the corrected Kayabe dataset investigated during the MT-DIW3. This is a 209-station MT dataset acquired on a rectangular grid at Kayabe on Hokkaido, which is quite close to the location of the 1996 Onuma EM workshop. For this dataset, two perpendicular crossing profiles of thirteen stations each are defined for those who wish to use 2D approaches. The 2D models, when compared with the 3D ones, also will give us some information about bias errors introduced by 2D interpretation of 3D bodies.

As on the previous three occasions, we hope that papers on these datasets can be submitted to a special issue of Earth, Planets and Space. For an example of the first one, please go to MT-DIW1: Wellington, 1992
