The total magnetization of an underground magnetic source is the vector sum of the induced magnetization and the natural remanent magnetization. The direction of the total magnetization serves as important a priori information in the inversion and processing of magnetic data. We demonstrated that the total gradient of the magnetic potential with vertical magnetization constitutes the envelope of the vertical component of the magnetic field for all directions of the Earth's field and source magnetization. The total gradient of the magnetic potential with vertical magnetization and the reduction‐to‐the‐pole field simultaneously tend to achieve maximum symmetry near the correct total magnetization direction. As a result, the total magnetization direction can be estimated by computing the correlations between the reduction‐to‐the‐pole and the total gradient of the magnetic potential with vertical magnetization. The proposed method yields accurate magnetization directions in synthetic model examples. The total gradient of the magnetic potential with vertical magnetization is less susceptible to data noise than transforms which are derived from the high‐order magnetic field derivatives or tensors. The estimation results are slightly affected by changes in the source magnetization direction. In a field example in the Weilasito region (North China), the reduction‐to‐the‐pole fields calculated using the estimated magnetization directions are well centred over the source. The proposed method obtained a more focused magnetization direction than that of a three‐dimensional magnetization vector inversion. The total gradient of the magnetic potential with vertical magnetization therefore provides a novel and accurate approach to determine the total magnetization direction from the total field anomaly in a variety of situations.
