Abstract：The quality of the low frequency electromagnetic data is affected by the spike and the trend noises. Failure in removal of the spikes and the trends reduces the credibility of data explanation. Based on the analyses of the causes and characteristics of these noises, this paper presents the results of a preset statistics stacking method (PSSM) and a piecewise linear fitting method (PLFM) in de-noising the spikes and trends, respectively. The magnitudes of the spikes are either higher or lower than the normal values, which leads to distortion of the useful signal. Comparisons have been performed in removing of the spikes among the average, the statistics and the PSSM methods, and the results indicate that only the PSSM can remove the spikes successfully. On the other hand, the spectrums of the linear and nonlinear trends mainly lie in the low frequency band and can change the calculated resistivity significantly. No influence of the trends is observed when the frequency is higher than a certain threshold value. The PLSM can remove effectively both the linear and nonlinear trends with errors around 1% in the power spectrum. The proposed methods present an effective way for de-noising the spike and the trend noises in the low frequency electromagnetic data, and establish a research basis for de-noising the low frequency noises.
