Complex geophysical Investigation of some characteristics of some strong local Guria (Georgia) magnetic anomalies

Abstract

It should be mentioned, that the “man-made” magneto therapy has a wide application in the world, however the Ureki (Georgia) - Black sea-side health resort, is the only place of natural magneto therapy. In some case it will be a possibility of foundation of a new health resort of natural magneto therapy on the territory of the local magnetic anomaly within the Guria (Georgia) lowland. The local magnetic anomaly detected in the village of Atsana which, like the known Ureki seaside health resort, represents a natural laboratory” with the curative magneto therapeutically environment. The normal value characterizing the magnetic field in Georgia is To= 48800nT. The full T compo­nent of the magnetic field in Atsana is liable to significant variations within a small area, maximum to 9000 gamma (Whereas the intensity of magnetic storm in our latitude is within 600-800 gamma). Special mention should be made of Atsana north-western slope, where the full T component of magnetic field varies from 45800 to 54800 gam­ma. Also, significant magnetic field gradients were registered in the river Atsaura basin (47900 - 55600 gamma) and in other places. Gradients in respect of the normal value have been fixed in Atsana, whose characteristic value is ∆То=1000nТ/m (T-tesla, m-­meter, pitch-10m). When moving on a preliminary fixed route path, or “magnetic terrain course" on such anomalous territory (300m²), one will find himself under the therapeu­tic effect of the magnetic field variations.
