Any iterative inversion process is built on three cornerstones: 1. The
ability to transform a guess of the solution from the initial domain
to a domain where an anomaly can be extracted; 2. The ability to extract the
anomaly in this latter domain by comparing the result of the
transformation of the initial guess against a set of criteria; and 3. The
ability to transform the extracted anomaly back to the initial domain,
updating the guess. In the particular case of the inversion we are
setting up, the discrimination domain is the angle domain. We will
further prove point 1 above: that the FEAVO anomalies are visible in
the angle domain (that the common downward continuation followed by
transformation from the offset to angle does not destroy them). We
will also discuss point 2 (the various methods for extracting the
FEAVO anomalies in the angle domain) but will leave an example of the
actual extraction to a future paper. Because of time constraints,
point 3 (proving that the linearized downward continuation does not
spoil the anomalies) is also left for a future paper.
