translate geophysics to english - Dipole-Dipole

Dipole-Dipole = An electrode configuration used in IP surveys to help map contacts, faults, mineralized and alteration zones.

In geophysics, terms like dipole–dipole, pole-dipole, and so on refer to specific electrode configurations used to inject current into the ground and measure voltage differences. These setups involve placing electrodes at defined distances and geometries relative to each other. Understanding how these configurations are arranged is important, as their spacing and layout can help reveal key geological features, such as potential mineralized zones, structures, and fluid pathways, to better guide drillhole targeting.

Receivers (Rx) each with two orthogonal dipoles and transmitter (Tx) current injection sites placed throughout the survey area.
