Abstract/Summary

Models of the crustal magnetic field are typically represented using spherical harmonic coefficients. Rather than spherical harmonics, spherical Slepian functions (hereafter just Slepian functions) can be employed to produce a locally and also globally orthogonal basis in which to optimally represent the data in a region up to a given degree. The region can have any arbitrary shape and size. In this poster we show some of the possible applications of Slepian functions to aeromagnetic data studies: optimally separate a crustal field model into its oceanic and continental regions in order to investigate the spectral content; compactly describe regional spherical harmonics in a sparse manner; reconstruct a smooth function from a series of input data points
