5.1.4. Interface WeightsΒΆ

Important

Depending on the application, interface weighting may or may not improve the final inversion result.

Here, the utility code interface_weights.exe and the input file interface_weights.inp (see format) are used to create near-surface interface weights. Interface weighting is sometimes used to reduce artifacts in the recovered model clustered around the electrode locations. It does this by enforcing stronger lateral smoothing in the top few layers of cells which decreases in magnitude with depth.

Files relevant to this part of the example are in the sub-folder interface_weights. Before running this example, you may want to do the following:

To generate the interface weights, the following input file was used:
