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. purpose: To provide ground-based, calibrated values of the Earth's magnetic field at a specific location for scientific research and practical applications. status: (MD_ProgressCode) completed resourceMaintenance: (MD_MaintenanceInformation) maintenanceAndUpdateFrequency: (MD_MaintenanceFrequencyCode) asNeeded graphicOverview: (MD_BrowseGraphic) fileName: BOU04BLV.JPG fileDescription: Baseline values for the Boulder calibration data for 2004 fileType: JPEG descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: Earth Science > Solid Earth > Geomagnetism keyword: Earth Science > Solid Earth > Geomagnetism > Geomagnetic Indices keyword: Earth Science > Solid Earth > Geomagnetism > Magnetic Declination keyword: Earth Science > Solid Earth > Geomagnetism > Magnetic Field keyword: Earth Science > Solid Earth > Geomagnetism > Magnetic Inclination keyword: Earth Science > Solid Earth > Geomagnetism > Magnetic Intensity type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: NASA/GCMD Earth Science Keywords date: (unknown) descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI > National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce keyword: DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) dataCentre thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords date: (CI_Date) date: 2020-01-09 dateType: (CI_DateTypeCode) publication edition: 9.1 citedResponsibleParty: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Earth Science Data and Information System contactInfo: (CI_Contact) onlineResource: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/find-data/idn/gcmd-keywords name: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords description: The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.
