An evaluation of the accuracy of geomagnetic data obtained from an unattended, automated, quasi-absolute station An evaluation of the accuracy of geomagnetic data obtained from an unattended, automated, quasi-absolute station

A comparison is made of geomagnetic calibration data obtained from a high-sensitivity proton magnetometer enclosed within an orthogonal bias coil system, with data obtained from standard procedures at a mid-latitude U.S. Geological Survey magnetic observatory using a quartz horizontal magnetometer, a Ruska magnetometer, and a total field magnetometer. The orthogonal coil arrangement is...

What do we mean by accuracy in geomagnetic measurements? What do we mean by accuracy in geomagnetic measurements?

High accuracy is what distinguishes measurements made at the world's magnetic observatories from other types of geomagnetic measurements. High accuracy in determining the absolute values of the components of the Earth's magnetic field is essential to studying geomagnetic secular variation and processes at the core mantle boundary, as well as some magnetospheric processes. In some...
