Earth’s Magnetic Field – Solar effects Earth’s Magnetic Field:detection of magnetic anomalies • Earth’s dipole (N-S) magnetic field is produced by internal iron core dynamo effect. Charged particles from the sun cause a bow shock wave in the magnetosphere which leads to Diurnal Variations • Earth’s dipole magnetic field is perturbed by relatively localized contrasts in magnetization. • Magnetization contrasts are caused by ferrous debris, vessels, pipelines, communication cables, magnetic minerals (predominantly magnetite). • With magnetometers, one can measure the total field to detect the magnetic anomalies associated with contrasts.
Optional Diurnal / Base Station Monitor Use either G-858 or G-856 Magnetometers Monitor Magnetic Diurnal Variations Magnetometer in fixed location Synchronized clocks 1-30 second sample rate Use for correction of survey data Produce more accurate magnetic maps
