DC Resistivity Survey (Pole-Dipole Array):
The Pole-Dipole array is a type of electrode configuration for a DC resistivity survey and is defined by its electrode array geometry.

Use in Geothermal Exploration
Property "GeoUse" (as page type) with input value "See [[Direct-Current Resistivity Survey" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process. See Direct-Current Resistivity Survey

Field Procedures
The pole-dipole array contains four collinear electrodes. One of the current (source) electrodes is installed at an “effective infinity” distance, which is approximately five to ten times the survey depth. The other current electrode is placed in the vicinity of the two potential (receiver) electrodes. This geometry is utilized because it reduces the distortion of equipotential surfaces. [1]
