The Measurement of Earth Resistivity Affecting MHD-EMP (magnetohydrodynamic Electromagnetic Pulse) Response of Buried Cables

Abstract

The response of buried conducting cable to a MHD EMP wave is determined in part by the resistivity of the earth at frequencies ranging from 10 to 0.01 Hz. Three methods of measurement of earth resistivity are presented with their advantages and limitations.
