J

Jacobsen Filter  – a Spectral Domain filter that enhances the residual components of the gravity or magnetic fields by calculating the difference between two Wiener Filter-based upward continuations or applying the modified Upward Continuation in accordance with a specified “pass-above” or “pass below” depth. J.F. is also referred to as Separation Filter. [48, 118].

Julian Date  – a date of the magnetic or gravity survey observations, recorded by the digital acquisition system as a four-digit value, which represents Julian Day and the year of the survey. For example, the value of 3399 (or 9933) corresponds to February 2, 1999.

Julian Day  – the day’s ordinal number since January 1 of the current year. J.D. is used as standard input parameter for digital records of the magnetic or gravity acquistion data. See Julian Date.

Julians  – a list of Julian days in the dataset of the gravity or magnetic observations. See Julian Day.

Juvenile  – a term applied to water, gas or ore-forming fluids originating from Magma as opposed to fluids of the surface origin. J. fluids may significantly contribute to the magnetization of intra-sedimentary and intra-basement faults or fracture zones. J. water is also referred to as Plutonic Water. [13]. See Magnetized Intra-basement Fault and Magnetized Intra-sedimentary Fault.

Juxtaposition  – side-by-side position of specified tectonic blocks, magnetic terranes and other subsurface structural elements identified on the basis of the potential field data interpretation. See Magnetic Terrane and Tectonic Province.
