TLDR
In this article, reference coil-based noise cancellation and integrated FID imaging are used to increase the effective signal to noise ratios by an order of magnitude or more, which enables multi-coil surface NMR to produce useful and reliable images when the post-averaged SNR is less than 1.

Adaptive noise cancelling of multichannel magnetic resonance sounding signals

TL;DR: The results show that within the experimental uncertainty the two methods give identical results, and the design and the efficiency of different stacking methods are compared to time-domain multichannel Wiener filtering.

A Small-Diameter NMR Logging Tool for Groundwater Investigations

TL;DR: A small-diameter nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) logging tool has been developed and field tested at various sites in the United States and Australia and provides reliable, direct, and high-resolution information that is of importance for groundwater studies.

Noise cancelling of MRS signals combining model-based removal of powerline harmonics and multichannel Wiener filtering

TL;DR: It is shown that noise cancelling can be improved if the multiple origins of noise are taken into account and a method is developed where powerline harmonics are efficiently removed through a modelbased approach.

A new direct non-invasive groundwater detection technology for Australia

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results of Hydroscope tests on sedimentary, water-containing rocks in South-Eastern Australia, undertaken during February and March 1990, together with several theoretical and experimental results obtained previously by the developers of the NMR water prospecting technology, are presented.

Inversion of surface NMR data

TL;DR: The main advantage of the surface nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) method compared to other geophysical methods in the field of groundwater investigation is the ability to measure an NMR signal directly from the water molecules as discussed by the authors.
