    The reduction, verification and interpretation of MAGSAT magnetic data over Canada (1981)
    In:  CASI

    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Analysis of Investigator B tapes was extended to use a statistical screening of individual data points in each grid cell over the map area. The mean value of data from each cell was computed and all data values more than 4nT from the mean were rejected. The revised mean and standard deviation was computed. The average standard deviation for all map grid cells was 1.4nT for the scalar anomaly map and about 2nT for the vector component anomaly maps. At this stage, the grid cell is larger and spatial resolution lower for the vector maps than for the scalar maps, because the vector components are considerably more disturbed and more data points were rejected. An approach for altitude adjustment is in progress so that corrections can be made and data reduction procede. To evaluate the use of scalar and vector MAGSAT data for the production of regional magnetic charts, charts of the north, east, vertical, and scalar field derived from MAGSAT and from Canadian aeromagnetic data were compared. It appears possible to retrieve crustal signals from the horizontal vector components despite external disturbance fields at high latitude.

    The reduction, verification and interpretation of MAGSAT magnetic data over Canada (1982)

    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Correlations between the MAGSAT scalar anomaly map produced at the Earth Physics ranch and other geophysical and geological data reveal relationships between high magnetic field and some metamorphic grade shields, as well as between low magnetic field and shield regions of lower metamorphic grade. An intriguing contrast exists between the broad low anomaly field over the Nasen-Gakkel Ridge (a spreading plate margin) and the high anomaly field over Iceland (part of a spreading margin). Both regions have high heat flow, and presumably thin magnetic crust. This indicates that Iceland is quite anomalous in its magnetic character, and possible similarities with the Alpha Ridge are suggested. Interesting correlations exist between MAGSAT anomalies around the North Atlantic, after reconstructing the fit of continents into a prerifting configuration. These correlations suggest that several orogenies in that region have not completely destroyed an ancient magnetization formed in high grade Precambrian rocks.

    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Procedures were established to select quiet, least-disturbed MAGSAT data in an effort to study the magnetic field originating in the solid Earth. A preliminary map of scalar field anomalies over Canada and adjacent regions was produced. Data from Fort Churchill magnetic observatory (an auroral zone station) were used in classifying MAGSAT passes as quiet, unsettled, or disturbed. Determinations of long-term quiet levels at Canadian magnetic observatories are being made. For the time interval of each MAGSAT pass, the deviations of the mean hourly values of the magnetic field components are determined from these quiet levels, in particular for Fort Churchill. Primary processing all CHRONINT tapes received to date, involved decoding orbit records, decimating data records, selecting time intervals and latitude intervals, and producing output tapes carrying records with data point time, position and magnetic information. Subsequent processing converts the coordinate system from geocentric to geodetic and removes a reference field.

    Description: Magnetic anomalies of lithospheric origin are weak at Magsat altitudes (20 to 30 nT at most), and are easily masked by much larger effects caused by field-aligned and other currents at high latitudes. Most of Canada lies under the influence of ionospheric currents in the auroral zone and polar cap. A more refined selection of quiet Magsat data allowed a revised scalar magnetic anomaly map of the whole region north of about 40 deg N latitude. Very preliminary vector anomaly maps and absolute vector component maps were derived. The scalar magnitudes show great promise for mapping the total force and anomaly fields. The Z vector data also appear to be good. The horizontal X and Y vector data are seriously contaminated with external fields and maybe other effects.

    Description: Consideration is being given to representing the magnetic field in the area 40 deg N to 83 deg N by means of functions in spherical coordinates. A solution to Laplace's equation for the magnetic potential over a restricted area was found, and programming and testing are currently being carried out. Magnetic anomaly modelling is proceeding. The program SPHERE, which was adapted to function correctly on the Cyber computer, is now operational, for deriving gravity and magnetic models in a spherical coordinate system.

    Description: Research into an approach for altitude adjustments for MAGSAT or similar data acquired over a range of altitudes is progressing. The technique shows promise not only in the production of refined anomaly maps but also in the derivation of regional charts of the magnetic elements from satellite and ground data. Correlations between MAGSAT anomalies and other geophysical and geological data are being explored further and quantitative modelling of some features has begun. The form of some anomalies may change as the maps are refined by the technique being developed. Emphasis is being given to the Canadian regions, although analogous features elsewhere are being considered.
