Processed aeromagnetic line data flown from Rothera station with a Windracers Ultra UAV (2023/24 season)
Airborne magnetic data provides insight into the subsurface geology and tectonic history. This dataset includes processed airborne magnetic data collected over Marguerite Bay during the 2023/2024 Antarctic field season. This survey was carried out as part of a wider UKRI Innovate UK Future Flight-3 SWARM project in collaboration with Windracers Ltd to demonstrate their Ultra Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) as a platform for environmental science. As part of this project ~1600 km of new high resolution aeromagnetic data with a ground clearance of 500m was collected around Rothera research station, West Antarctica. Data were acquired using a GEMSys GSMP-35U UAV magnetometer mounted on a Windracers Ultra UAV. Magnetic line data is provided as comma separated ASCII file.
This study was funded by Innovate UK through their Future flight challenge support for the "Protecting environments with unmanned aerial vehicle swarms" project (reference: 10023377). We thank BAS operations for their support and specifically the BAS air unit and ground support staff whose close cooperation and engagement with the UAV deployment made the project successful. We also thank staff at Windracers and Distributed avionics who provided remote support for UAV operations across the field season.

After levelling the crossover error was 37.7 nT.
Data has 2 km line spacing. Along track resolution may be higher, but is limited by the distance to the nearest magnetic sources (>500 m).
