Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Abstract: An automatic 3D spatial domain inversion technique is developed to estimate basement depths of sedimentary basins from observed gravity anomalies using a prescribed exponential mass density contrast. A collage of vertical polygonal cross-sections, each one with unit thickness, in which the density contrast differs exponentially with depth describes the model space. The proposed technique estimates the optimum depth ordinates of the vertices of polygonal cross-sections from a given set of gravity anomalies following predefined convergence criteria. Initial depths to basement interface at plurality of observations are calculated presuming that the density contrast within the Bouguer slab at each observation is also varying exponentially with depth. A previously reported algorithm that make use of both analytic and numeric approaches to compute the gravity response of such 3D model space with exponential mass density contrast is adopted for forward modelling. The proposed inversion is efficient even when the gravity anomalies are available at non-uniform spatial grid intervals. Recovery of basement depths with modest error from a set of gravity anomalies attributable to a synthetic model in the presence of pseudorandom noise and also the fact that the estimated depth structure of the Almazán Basin in NE Spain correlates reasonably well with the information derived from seismic data demonstrates the applicability of the proposed inversion method. The snags associated with other existing density models in the analysis of gravity anomalies are demonstrated on both synthetic and real field anomalies. Research Highlights: 1.It is a 3D inversion technique to analyse the gravity anomalies of sedimentary basins.2.Density contrast variation is automatically ascribed by an exponential function in the algorithm.3.The interpretation technique does not require initial model specification to start with.4.The algorithm is fully automatic.
