Generalized Solutions of the Inverse Problem and New Technologies for the Quantitative Interpretation of Gravity Anomalies

Abstract

The approach, fundamentally different from the known ones, to estimating the spatial location of the domain filled with the disturbing masses based on the gravity field measurement data is suggested. The main idea of the approach is, using the set of the probable variants of the interpretation, to construct the distribution of a certain parameter associated with the estimate of probability of detecting the sources of the field in any point of the studied geological medium and then to apply this distribution to each domain eligible for being the true carrier of the anomalous masses. These constructions yield the generalized admissible solutions of the inverse problem with ranking the separate fragments of the model carrier in terms of the probability of detecting anomalous masses in them.
