Cross-Correlation Function in the Strike-Slips Mapping by Potential Fields Data (on Example of the Kolbeinsey Ridge Transform Faults)

The paper presents the results of the algorithm testing for estimating the strike-slip amplitude on a simulated (ar-tificially synthesized) field and on a real magnetic field near the Kolbeinsi Ridge. The algorithm is based on the calculation of the cross-correlation function in sliding windows within the study area, and allows quantifying the amplitude of the strike-slip fault and determining its left lateral or right lateral kinematics. The approach is im-plemented in the form of the author's program WindowXCorr. Testing on the model and on real data shows the performance of the algorithm and the presence of negative elements in the calculation results, which allows talk-ing about the potential of this approach, and the need to refine it taking into account the complexity and polygen-ic nature of real geophysical data.
