The effect of ‘noise’ on estimates of the elastic thickness of the continental lithosphere by the coherence method

We model the lithosphere as a uniform elastic plate overlying an inviscid fluid and loaded with both surface and subsurface fractal loads to generate synthetic topography and gravity data. To simulate data having low (topographic) signal to (gravity) noise ratio we use an algebraically larger expone...
