What is it about?
We have developed a method to interpret potential fields, which obtains 1D models by inverting vertical soundings of potential field data.

Why is it important?
The method assumes a forward problem consisting of a volume partitioned in layers, each of them homogeneous and horizontally finite, but with the density changing versus depth. The continuation errors, increasing with the altitude, are automatically handled by determining the coefficients of a third-order polynomial function of the altitude.
Perspectives
It is important to have alternative method for inversion of potential field anomalies, because different methods could help us to better understand the distibution of the masses in the underground.
