ABSTRACTA method to analyse aeromagnetic profiles is proposed: several horizontal (width‐) and vertical (amplitude‐) parameters are deduced from the anomalies. These parameters are then compared with diagrams drawn on a logarithmic scale. The comparison yields depth and magnetization of the causative bodies.The method lends itself equally well to a quick estimate and to a thorough interpretation, depending on the number of parameters deduced and on the number of diagrams. It can be applied also to the anomalies of the total field and its vertical gradi
