S U M M A R YThis comment discusses the analysis of magnetotelluric data from the Corinth Gulf area carried out by Pham et al. It is shown that a consistent analysis should include the conducting sea water of the Gulf, which has a longitudinal conductance of about 2000 S. This was overlooked in the above study. The magnitude of the sea-water effect is demonstrated by 2-D modelling and new induction vector data.
Extensive EM studies have been made in the Ukraine during the last 40 years and a set of reliable results have been received. Data from 3000 Magnetotelluric soundings are presented as maps of effective apparent resistivity at periods of 150 s and 500 s and impedance phase at T = 150 s. The principal results are: S1 map at the scale 1:2500000, tracing and study of Carpathian, Kirovograd and Donbas regional conductivity anomalies, a map of the crustal conductivity for Ukrainian Shield, a study of faults.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
