Time-domain CSEM Modeling With a Frequency-domain Code

We model time-domain electromagnetic measurements of induction currents for marine and land applications with a frequency-domain code. A robust multigrid solver makes frequency-domain modeling followed by a Fourier transform an attractive choice. An interpolation criterion determines the choice of frequencies. The skin depth for each frequency defines the computational grid at each frequency. Examples illustrate the behavior of the method.
