Comments on “Interrelationships Between Magnetic Anomaly Components”

On page 748 of the above named paper, Affleck (1958) mentions an interesting behavior of magnetic anomalieswhich are caused by homogeneous magnetized two-dimensional bodies. He states that in these cases the airborne magnetometer anomaly can be treated as either the vertical or horizontal component anomaly if the true magnetization is replaced by a pseudo-magnetization of other direction and intensity. It may be of some interest to formulate this behavior more precisely, so much the more as the interdependence between the magnetization directions and the direction of a normal magnetic field can be expressed by a rather simple formula.
