The two dominating difficulties of any
geophysical measurement in the urban setting are as follows : ( 1) the area
available for measurement is small, so the geoelectric layout length is also
small; (2) the noise level is high, and the noise reduces the maximum depth
from which any subsurface target can be detected. From the results of
two-dimensional numerical model computations assuming multielectrode
(electrical resistivity tomography) measurements, we determined the depth of
detectability values ( i.e. maximum depth values at which still useful
information about a given inhomogeneity is obtained at a given noise level). We
conducted detectability studies in detail for six different geoelectric arrays,
assuming different noise levels. The depth of detectability is both array-and
model-dependent, as it has been found. Therefore, it is recommended to pick an
array in a field study that has the greatest possible depth of detectability
values for the given model. At the noise level given. If there is no a priori assumption about the
subsurface model, we suggest either the pole-dipole (P-DP) array or the dipole
axial (DP-ax) array as a default option, because they have the largest
detectability values for most models we have studied. A double increase in the
level of noise can lead to a decrease of approximately two in the detectability
depth itself.
