Abstract
Las anomalías magnéticas en el suroeste de la Península Ibérica están
caracterizadas por un gran dipolo N-S alargado en dirección E-O. Los valores
más intensos de anomalía están relacionados con los afloramientos de
sienitas del Complejo Alcalino de Monchique, que intruyen rocas metapelíticas
de la Zona Sudportuguesa. Se han realizado medidas de intensidad
total de campo magnético a lo largo de un perfil N-S (Portimão-Odemira) que
atraviesa dicho dipolo.Además, en los lugares en los que el cuerpo intrusivo
de Monchique aflora, se ha medido su susceptibilidad magnética (0,029 SI).
La modelización simultánea de las anomalías aeromagnéticas y magnéticas
de campo ha permitido determinar la geometría y extensión en profundidad
del Complejo Alcalino de Monchique. Este cuerpo tiene una sección asimétrica,
aproximadamente lenticular, que se extiende hacia el N. El máximo espesor
es superior a 3 km y se alcanza en la parte S, en el sector donde aflora
Magnetic anomalies in the southwestern zone of the Iberian Peninsula are characterized by a large N-S dipole elongated in E-W direction. The most intense anomaly values are related to the outcropping sienites of the Monchique Alkaline Complex, intruding the metapelitic host rock of the South Portuguese Zone. Total field magnetic intensity data have been acquired along a N-S profile (Portimão-Odemira) across the dipole. Moreover, magnetic susceptibility of the outcropping Monchique rocks has been measured (0.029 SI). Simultaneous modeling of aeromagnetic and field magnetic data may constrain the geometry and depth extension of the Monchique Alkaline Complex. It has roughly lenticular and asymmetrical section extending in depth towards the north. The maximum thickness of more than 3 km is reached in the southern side of the profile where the intermediate rocks outcrop
