Methodology:

The dataset available here includes all channels from raw through to levelled and microlevelled products. Channel naming and processing follows SCAR/ADMAP2 data release protocols.

Magnetic data channels and processing flow:

MagR- Raw magnetic total field intensity data (nT).

MagC- Compensated, or low pass filtered magnetic data (nT). Adjustments to compensate for aircraft roll, pitch and yaw were applied. For this survey, both compensation, and low pass filtering of MagR were used.

RefField- Geomagnetic reference field value for which the magnetic data has been compensated. IGRF model 2010 as implemented in Geosoft (nT).

MagRTC- Compensated magnetic value adjusted for Tip tanks (where used) and geomagnetic reference field values. MagRTC= MagR- RefField (nT).

BCorr_FD83- Low pass filtered (60 minute) magnetic base station (located at camp FD83) correction.

BCorr_Halley- Low pass filtered (60 minute) magnetic base station (located at Halley) correction.

BCorr_Applied- Which of the two base station correction values were applied.

MagBRTC- calculated as MagBRTC= MagRTC- Bcorr (nT).

ACorr- Additional correction applied to compensate for heading errors.

MagF- Final mag value before levelling (nT).

MagL- Statistically levelled mag data (nT).

MagML- Microlevelled magnetic data following technique of (Ferraccioli et al., 1998) (nT). Note tie lines are not included in the microlevelled data channel.
