Paradoxes of geoelectrics

Abstract

The problem of energy paradoxes revealed in geoelectrics are discussed. The experimental facts illustrating the anomalous energy characteristics of the magnetotelluric (MT) field are presented. An attempt is made to interpret these anomalies from the standpoint of directional analysis. Two three-layer models corresponding to the situation |Q| > 1 and \(\widetilde {{S_z}} < 0\) are found by the numerical modeling. The possibility of accounting for the observed paradoxes within the resonance model “heterogeneous plane wave—layered medium” is discussed.
