Get free grid viewing and grid conversion software from Geosoft:  Each of the grid file formats may be viewed on-screen or printed using the free Oasis Montaj  interface software. The viewer can also convert grids to other grid formats such as ER Mapper, Surfer, and USGS. This free software is available from Geosoft at:  http://www.geosoft.com/pinfo/oasismontaj/free/index.asp 
Open a file with instructions here for using the free software.


Other USGS download sites for aeromagnetic data:  Ascii files of most USGS digitized analog surveys may be downloaded from: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1999/ofr-99-0557/html/mag_home.htm  U.S. Geological Survey, 1999). Digital flight line data for most USGS surveys flown since about 1973 are available from: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2002/ofr-02-361/ (U.S. Geological Survey and National Geophysical Data Center, 2002).
