Robust code for computing smooth magnetotelluric transfer functions Robust estimates of the magnetotelluric (MT) transfer function are found using an iterative reweighted method on time series data corrected for outliers and gaps. The MT transfer function, smoothly varying in frequency, is used to represent the frequency-domain relationship between electric and magnetic time series. The smoothly varying transfer function facilitates identification and removal of electric and magnetic outliers (spikes), construction of the frequency- and time-domain weights used for obtaining robust smooth and band-averaged estimates, and separation of the time series into MT and correlated noise (CN) provided a remote site exists that is free of the correlated noise. Errors in the transfer function are calculated using jackknife estimates of the solution covariance. The input and output are all ASCII files including postscript graphics output.
