Abstract
For the advantage of Stable signal and large detective depth of the Time Domain Electromagnetic Sounding, it is widely used
currently for Mineral and Geological Structure Exploration. But in general, it is supposed some extremely conditions for processing
and explaining the observed results. And it is very difficultly to fit that conditions we supposed. So we cannot get the exact
processing and explaining of the observed results. We suggested a method by using Numerical Differential Calculating to obtain the
apparent resistivity of TEM sounding in this paper. It can get the results close to the real Geo-Electrical section. We can simplify the
explanations of the observed results. And we can get the Model Parameters for the inverse calculating easily.
Keywords: TEM Sounding; Numerical Calculating; Numerical Differential; Apparent Resistivity; K Model
