Aeromagnetic survey across the Brunt Ice Shelf, 2017

This data set contains aeromagnetic data collected opportunistically during an airborne radar survey of the Brunt Ice Shelf as part of the NERC/BAS Life Time of Halley project. The survey was flown draped with an average height above the ice surface of 420m, and includes 4716 km of new data. The aircraft used was the BAS aerogeophysically equipped twin otter VP-FBL. Data are available include all data streams from raw to fully processed, following the ADMAP 2 naming convention, and are provided in both Geosoft database (.gdb) and ASCII file formats (.xyz). Base station data is also provided.

Statement: The standard deviation of the crossover error of the final statistically levelled dataset was 8.21 nT for 313 intersections, after removing 9 anomalously high (>30 nT) crossover values.

Resolution: The line spacing for the main survey area is 5km, with regional lines spaced ~18 km apart. The provided data is sampled at 1Hz, which equates to a 60m along track sample spacing.
