Abstract
The solutions for low-frequency fields of a horizontal magnetic dipole embedded within a two-layer conductor are derived. For convenience, the solutions are expressed in dimensionless form. The amplitudes and phases of the electric and magnetic fields along the surface of the bottom layer are calculated numerically and their dependence on the ratio of the conductivities of the two layers is investigated. Results indicate that, in general, the electric field induced by a subsurface horizontal magnetic dipole is more sensitive to the bottom-layer conductivity than is the magnetic field. Some of the results discussed in this paper are of interest in studying the seabed conductivity.
