ZTEM is a new-type frequency-domain airborne electromagnetic system which measures the magnetic fields that result from natural source. Tipper is adopted as a research parameter that relates the vertical magnetic field at the observation point to the horizontal fields at a ground based reference station, which can be used to perform large-scale structural exploration with topography. Based on the 3D finite-difference forward modeling and data-space OCCAM inversion of ZTEM, the authors have developed a frequency-domain 3D forward and inversion algorithm for ZTEM tipper data including surface tomography. At first, the forward code is verified for its correctness and applied to calculate and analyze the characteristics of 3D ZTEM abnormal response generated from undulate tomography. Then, the synthetic conductive models of 3D ZTEM inversion results including peak and valley terrain show that the algorithm can get the inversion models which are close to the underground real conductive structure; especially, it has an ideal constraint effect on the horizontal boundary of the underground object. At last, the results of synthetic example are compared with the results from 3D ZTEM inversion with no tomography implications to demonstrate the validity of the data-space OCCAM approach for inverting tipper data of ZTEM.
