Summary
NGU conducted an airborne geophysical survey in Forollhogna area, in Rennebu, Midtre
Gauldal and Holtålen municipalities in Trøndelag County, and Tynset, Tolga and Os
municipalities in Innlandet County, as part of NGU’s general airborne mapping program. The
data acquisition in Forollhogna area was carried out from June 23rd to July 20th, 2021.
This report describes and documents the acquisition, processing and visualization of the
acquired datasets and presents them in maps. The geophysical survey consists of 8214 linekm data, covering an area of 1609 km2, flown from the base near Orvos (Flight 1-38) and from
the base near Frigården (Flight 39).
The NGU modified Geotech Ltd. Hummingbird frequency domain EM system supplemented
by an optically pumped Cesium magnetometer and the Radiation Solutions 1024 channels
RSX-5 spectrometer mounted on a AS350-B3 helicopter were used for data acquisition.
The data collected were processed at NGU using Geosoft Oasis Montaj software. Raw total
magnetic field data were corrected for diurnal variation and leveled using Geosoft microlevelling algorithm. Radiometric data were processed using standard procedures as
recommended by International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA).
EM data were filtered and leveled using both automated and manual levelling procedures.
Apparent resistivity was calculated from in-phase and quadrature data for three coplanar
frequencies (880Hz, 6.6kHz and 34kHz), and for two coaxial frequencies (980Hz and 7kHz)
separately using a homogeneous half space model.
All data were gridded using cell size of 50x50 meters and presented as 40% transparent
grids with shaded relief on top of topographic maps.
