In the MT-survey, it is important for the reliability evaluation of inversion result to evaluate acquired data quality. We suggested new reliability parameters, "Predict Phase Error (PPE)", "Acquired Curve Roughness (ACR)", "Error Bar Level (EBL)" to evaluate acquired data quality that was depend on the skill and experience of MT surveyor. We examined the relation between noise level and numerically expressed parameters. As a result, extremely high correlation coefficient was recognized between noise level and PPE. PPE was expected available parameter to evaluate the noise level of acquired MT data. We suggested combination of PPE, ACR, and EBL to keep the objectivity and stability for the reliability evaluation.
