Abstract
Features and main conclusions of publications devoted to the study of medium transverse-isotropic geoelectric models which are characterized by inclination of the electrical anisotropy axis relative to a logging tool are reviewed in this article. Such models can be defined either by horizontal and vertical conductivities (or their reciprocals, called resistivities) with a non-zero dip of a logging tool or by the conductivity tensor with the tilt of the principal axes.
