Function to

transform_scaling(ves)

Arguments

ves

A VES object

Value

This function returns a list with the following entries:

  • depth: Depth

  • real.res: Real resisitivity

Details

The conversion from apparent to effective resistivities using the scaling approach is based on the use of the following expression: $$ \rho_{eff}^{i}=S \cdot \rho_{app}^{i} $$ where $S$ is the so called scaling factor defined as: $$ S = \frac{\rho_{app}^{i}}{ \rho_{app}^{i-1} } $$ and \(\rho_{app}^{i}\) and \(\rho_{app}^{i-1}\) are the apparent resistivities of the \(i-\)th and \((i-1)\)-th layers respectively.
