Therefore, we used a joint survey of aeromagnetic and gradient data to obtain the distribution of sources with different depths. In this paper, we propose an intersection constraint weighting (ICW) method based on aeromagnetic and gradient data for original and gradient anomalies with inconsistent high-low variation characteristics. The ICW method can effectively improve the resolution of inversion results and can more accurately obtain the distribution of magnetic bodies via cross-gradient by gradually adding a gradient component and applying a normalized property weighting function. Our theoretical model tests indicate that the distribution of the recovered magnetic susceptibility model of the ICW method was similar to that of the true model. In addition, the anomaly containing noise with different signal-to-noise ratios verified that the ICW method had a stronger anti-noise ability than other methods. We also inverted real data in the Zhurihe area of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in northern China. The inversion result showed that the main trend of high magnetic bodies was in the northeast direction, that the shallowest depth of high magnetic bodies was 100 m, and that the greatest depth was 960 m.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14236029","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,28]],"date-time":"2022-11-28T09:09:42Z","timestamp":1669626582000},"page":"6029","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Intersection Constraint Weighting (ICW) Method: High-Resolution Joint Magnetic Susceptibility Inversion of Aeromagnetic and Gradient Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5072-5585","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jin","family":"Cai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geoexploration Science and Technology, Jilin University, Changchun 130026, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5621-9296","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guoqing","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geoexploration Science and Technology, Jilin University, Changchun 130026, China"},{"name":"Laboratory of Science and Technology on Marine Navigation and Control, China State Shipbuilding Corporation, Tianjin 300131, China"}]},{"given":"Lili","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geoexploration Science and Technology, Jilin University, Changchun 130026, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"103061","DOI":"10.1016\/j.oregeorev.2019.103061","article-title":"An aeromagnetic investigation of the Dapai deposit in Fujian Province, South China: Structural and mining implications","volume":"112","author":"Wang","year":"2019","journal-title":"Ore Geol.
