Model-Based Correction of Temperature-Dependent Measurement Errors in Frequency Domain Electromagnetic Induction (FDEMI) Systems.

Data measured using electromagnetic induction (EMI) systems are known to be susceptible to measurement influences associated with time-varying external ambient factors. Temperature variation is one of the most prominent factors causing drift in EMI data, leading to non-reproducible measurement results. Typical approaches to mitigate drift effects in EMI instruments rely on a temperature drift calibration, where the instrument is heated up to specific temperatures in a controlled environment and the observed drift is determined to derive a static thermal apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) drift correction.
