Survey diagnostics#

A guided, end-to-end visual walkthrough of a real electromagnetic survey using pycsamt.emtools. Where the EM tools section documents each module in isolation, this gallery takes one bundled dataset from raw impedances to a full structural interpretation — frequency coverage and data-quality confidence, apparent resistivity and phase, impedance phasor diagnostics, phase-tensor ellipses, dimensionality / skew / anisotropy, geoelectric strike, and (on a tipper-bearing line) induction arrows.

The primary dataset is the bundled WILLY_DATA AMT survey (data/AMT/WILLY_DATA/ — 5 profile lines, 128 stations); line L22PLT (25 stations) carries most of the single-line figures, with all five lines used together for the multi-profile roses and ellipse strips. The vertical-field / induction-arrow examples use the SAMTEX KAP03 long-period MT line (data/MT/kap03lmt_edis/), the only bundled survey recorded with a real tipper channel.

Every figure below is produced by the same pycsamt.emtools plotting functions you would call on your own data, and is regenerated on each documentation build.
