Estimation of data errors for small-loop EM induction systems and how considering them improves 1D inversion results

Small-loop, multi-frequency electromagnetic induction systems (SLEM) are a usual tool for investigating the electrical conductivity and magnetic permeability of the subsurface, up to some tens of meters deep. The data, the in-phase (IP) and quadrature (Q) components of the induced magnetic field, ar...
