METHOD OF MAPPING OF GEOPHYSICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL FIELDS ON SURFACE OF THE EARTH Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: search for mineral resources, quality control of environment. SUBSTANCE: method can be employed in search for bodies and fields of hydrocarbons and for monitoring ecological state of natural and man-made landscape. Statistically significant number of transmitters of physical quantity is scattered from aircraft over examined section of surface of the Earth. Their positions are simultaneously referenced to locality by means of telemetering. Transmitters are exposed in geophysical and geochemical fields. Information on measured physical quantity is collected from them with certain periodicity at same time by telemetering. Obtained information is processed in correspondence with special algorithm in real time and is mapped on information carrier. EFFECT: increased productivity of mapping operations, increased accuracy of measurement of physical quantity, enhanced authenticity of cartographic material, reduced time and expenses for mapping operations, especially, in locality difficult of access.
