Abstract
The Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma aeromagnetic grid is constructed from grids that combine information collected in 28 separate aeromagnetic surveys conducted between 1954 and 1985. The data from these surveys are of varying quality. The design and specifications (terrain clearance, sampling rates, line spacing, and reduction procedures) varied from survey to survey depending on the purpose of the project and the technology of that time. Every attempt was made to acquire the data in digital form. Most of the available digital data were obtained from aeromagnetic surveys flown by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), flown on contract with the USGS, or were obtained from other Federal agencies and State universities. The Kansas data were flown by and acquired from the Kansas Geological Survey. Some of the 1954, 1963, and 1964 data are available only on hand-contoured maps and had to be digitized. These maps were digitized along flight-line/contour-line intersections, which is considered to be the most accurate method of recovering the original data. All surveys have been continued to 304.8 m (1,000 ft) above ground and then blended or merged together.
