MT Induction Arrow Magnitude (Parkinson convention): INDMAG

 

The Induction Arrow is a graphical representation of tipper T. The real and imaginary parts of complex tipper components Tx,Ty can be combined to form +/- (Txr,Tyr) and +/- (Txi,Tyi). In Parkinson convention -(Txr,Tyr) is chosen as Induction Arrow, which tends to point toward regions of higher conductivity. Thus Induction Arrow magnitude can be defined as:

INDMAG=sqrt \bigg( {T_{yr}^2+T_{xr}^2 \bigg)
