This dataset presents latitude, longitude, altitude, and magnetic-field values. Purpose: Aeromagnetic surveys are used for geophysical prospecting. Some variations in magnetic measurements are caused by rocks that contain significant amounts of magnetic minerals (magnetite being the most common). These anomalies reflect variations in the amount and type of magnetic material and the shape and depth of the body of rock. Aeromagnetic anomaly maps are important tools in mapping surficial and buried igneous rocks. The features and patterns of aeromagnetic anomalies can also be used to delineate details of subsurface geology including the locations of buried faults and the thickness of surficial sedimentary rocks. Supplemental_Information: The U.S. Geological Survey has contracted or flown numerous airborne surveys over a long period (1950's to present). Not all flight-line data have been released to the public because of lack of personnel to reformat data and service the requests. With the improvement in digital communication and the ability to store and transmit large data sets, the USGS is now able to release the flight-line data in a common format. A companion CD-ROM/web site has been released containing magnetic data that were generated by digitizing analog maps. Digital flight-line data used to create the analog maps are unavailable. Reference is in the Cross-Reference section of this metadata file.

For example, position is listed as latitude and longitude, but these values were derived from the raw navigation data depending on the system used. (see notes under horizontal accuracy). Line numbers were added to records, and unusable data at flight-line ends were discarded (as aircraft slowed and turned around). Separate recordings were correlated by time and assigned to the correct location. The exact accuracies of these processing steps may not be known. They are discussed in the sections on attribute or positional accuracies. Logical_Consistency_Report: The data in this file were collected by a single contractor or group who were responsible for collecting and processing the data. The data from this survey were collected using the same instruments (magnetometers, altimeters, navigational systems) throughout the survey and were collected in a normal length of time with no long delays between survey beginning and end. Survey contracts specified the conditions and specifications under which these data were collected. Standard industry practices of the time were followed in data collection and processing. Completeness_Report: Loss of data due to poor transmission, channel dropout, obvious spiking, missing channels, and other obvious errors were replaced with the value -9999.9, such as in the radar, barom, and totmag channels. The contractor database did not have flight line direction (directn), year (year), day (jul_day), fiducial (fiducial), radar altimeter (radar), barometric altimeter (barom), or residual magnetics (resmag) channels. A dummy value of -1 was used in the directn channel in order to conform with the established template. The values in the fiducial channel were generated using Oasis Montaj referencing values in the latitude channel. There are no tie lines for this survey. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Flight Path Recovery Horizontal position of the survey aircraft used to collect data were determined by reconciling down-looking photographs (recorded on continuous-strip film) with topographic maps and orthophotoquadrangle maps. Fiducial numbers and marks, impressed on any paper strips that were recording data or added to magnetic tape records, were included as a function of time to further reconcile location with instrumentation. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The aircraft vertical position was determined using the navigational positioning equipment on the aircraft, which were radar altimeter and barometric altimeter. Radar altimeters are estimated to have an error of 2-5% of the altitude (Richard Hansen, PRJ, Inc., written communication). Barometric altimeters are quite accurate, but are typically operated in an uncorrected mode. The diurnal variation in air pressure over the course of a flight can produce a 50-100 ft error in the barometric altimeter reading. In addition, pressure microcells create short-period air pressure changes equivalent to about 10 ft under typical conditions (Richard Hansen, PRJ, Inc., written communication) This data set was collected at a fixed barometric altitude of 8000 ft. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Conversion of measured values to geographic position and magnetic values was performed by the contractor using industry standard practices. Details are found under Attribute Accuracy Report, Horizontal_Position_Accuracy_Report, and Vertical_Position_Accuracy_Report Unless noted, conversion processes were not reported to the USGS. Unpublished products generated by the contractor included magnetic tapes, a map of residual or total field magnetics, and perhaps some written documentation. Process_Date: 1975 Process_Step: Process_Description: USGS reformatting of contractor data to standard format. USGS personnel used the software package Oasis Montaj version 4.3 by Geosoft, Inc., to read in the original contractor's data. Latitude, longitude, altitude, and magnetic values were checked for obvious errors or spikes and values of -9999.9 were given where the value could not be reasonably corrected. Other errors in the data were not corrected. Horizontal positions were converted to latitude and longitude if the original values were UTM meters. Elevations were converted from meters to feet (1 m = 3.2808 ft). Information was added that was missing from the data file but was recorded elsewhere. The reformatted data file was written in the format described in the section on Entity_and_Attribute_Overview.

Attribute: Attribute_Label: fiducial Attribute_Definition: A fiducial number is a mark which indicates points of simultaneity. It is a user-defined integer used during airborne operations to correlate recording devices (magnetometers) with navigational records (altimeters, camera film, strip charts) that were recorded at the same time.

Attribute_Definition_Source: self evident Attribute_Domain_Values: Range_Domain: Range_Domain_Minimum: -9999.9 Range_Domain_Maximum: -9999.9 Attribute_Units_of_Measure: feet Attribute: Attribute_Label: totmag Attribute_Definition: Raw magnetic value with base magnetometer corrections applied. Because the magnetic field of the earth varies diurnally, a stationary base magnetometer is maintained on the ground during airborne surveying. The base magnetometer records changes in the magnetic field (in nanoTeslas) as a function of time. The magnetic changes may have an amplitude of 20 to 50 nanoTeslas. If changes are more severe, as would occur from a magnetic storm, surveying is discontinued or the data recorded are not used. Diurnal variations are then removed from the airborne magnetic data based on the common time. Values of -9999.9 indicate missing data. Attribute_Definition_Source: see: Nettleton, L.L., 1971, Elementary Gravity and Magnetics for Geologists and Seismologists: Society of Exploration Geophysicists Monograph Series No. 1, p. 83-87. A description of magnetometers and how they measure the total magnetic field can be found in: Dobrin, M.B., 1976, Introduction to Geophysical Prospecting: New York, McGraw-Hill Book Company, p. 505-517. Attribute_Domain_Values: Range_Domain: Range_Domain_Minimum: 53975 Range_Domain_Maximum: 55586 Attribute_Units_of_Measure: nanoTeslas Attribute_Value_Accuracy_Information: Attribute_Value_Accuracy: 2 Attribute_Value_Accuracy_Explanation: The airborne magnetometer is accurate to about 1 nanoTesla, and the base magnetometer has the same accuracy. The accuracy of the base-corrected airborne value therefore is near 2 nanoTeslas or better. Attribute_Measurement_Frequency: The magnetometer has a recharging interval of 0.5 seconds. The data were recorded at unknown intervals. Attribute: Attribute_Label: resmag Attribute_Definition: residual magnetic value The total magnetic value minus a geomagnetic reference field (GRF), which is a long wavelength regional magnetic field. A series of models of the earth's magnetic field were created from the use of three Polar Orbiting Geophysical Observatories (POGO) collected at Goddard Space Flight Center. OGO 2, 4, and 6 collected scalar intensity measurements between October 1965 and May 1968. POGO models offered the earliest and perhaps best coverage of the whole earth, derived from a single source. Each model corresponds to a specific time span within the 1965-1968 period. The appropriate model to remove from the survey data depends on the year of survey acquisition. For this survey, the field removed was the POGO updated to April 1975. Values of -9999.9 indicate missing data.

Attribute_Domain_Values: Range_Domain: Range_Domain_Minimum: -9999.9 Range_Domain_Maximum: -9999.9 Attribute_Units_of_Measure: nanoTeslas Attribute_Value_Accuracy_Information: Attribute_Value_Accuracy: 2 Attribute_Value_Accuracy_Explanation: The Geomagnetic Reference Field that was subtracted from the total magnetic value is based on a model, which was updated to the date of the survey. New models are available at five year intervals. These models have varying degrees of accuracy in determining the local reference field.
