Popis: A new technique has been developed to estimate the vertical magnetic gradient [Formula: see text] along a profile from measurements of the two orthogonal horizontal magnetic gradients [Formula: see text]. In addition, a means of identifying two‐dimensional anomaly sources and the angle of the structure relative to the profile direction is shown to be a function of [Formula: see text]. This angle can be used to correct interpretations from vertical gradient or total field inversion methods which assume source structures oriented perpendicular to the profile direction. A modified Werner deconvolution algorithm for vertical gradient data incorporating these features has been applied to both real and simulated horizontal gradient data.
