Abstract
CALCULATIONS of the direction of magnetization associated with seamounts usually employ a method first described by Vacquier1. The seamount bathymetry is approximated by rectangular blocks, and the direction of magnetization is found which minimizes the least-square error between computed and observed anomalies at the field points Irving; and Robertson2 recently summarized the most reliable of these results3–7
