Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) Colour Composite Image 2015

Total Magnetic Intensity colour composite image 2015The image was created from the Total Magnetic Intensity Grid 2015 - sixth edition. This image has a cell size of ~3 seconds of arc (approximately 80 m) and has been image enhanced for optimal display in Hue-Saturation-Intensity (HSI). This image only includes airborne-derived TMI data for onshore and near-offshore continental areas. Since the fifth edition was released in 2010 data from 41 new surveys have been added to the database, acquired mainly by the State and Territory Geological Surveys. It is estimated that 31 500 000 line-kilometres of survey data were acquired to produce the grid data, 4 500 000 line-kilometres more than for the previous edition.
