MD_DataIdentification

Count Component Title Abstract
1 Boulder Magnetic Observatory These data are vector and scalar component values of the Earth's magnetic field for 2004 recorded at the Boulder Magnetic Observatory in Colorado. Vector values are measured using 3 mutually orthogonal fluxgate magnetometer sensors. The scalar value of the total magnetic field is recorded with a proton precession magnetometer. All values are calibrated with measurements of the absolute value of the geomagnetic field using a DI-Flux magnetometer. The data are numerically filtered to prevent aliasing, and quality controlled during processing. Longer period values of the field, including hourly, daily, monthly, and annual means are derived from the 1-minute data.

    Count Component Identifier Descriptor
    1 fluxgate magnetometer A kind of magnetometer that detects second harmonic signals from a secondary coil surrounding an iron core that is driven into saturation by a primary coil using radio frequency signals.The second harmonic signal is proportional to the strength of the ambient magnetic field.
    1 Overhauser magnetometer A type of scalar magnetometer that employs the precession of free unpaired electrons rather than protons in a fluid.
