Southern Bowen Basin, Qld, 2004 (P1072), magnetic line data, AWAGS levelled

Total magnetic intensity (TMI) data measures variations in the intensity of the Earth's magnetic field caused by the contrasting content of rock-forming minerals in the Earth crust. Magnetic anomalies can be either positive (field stronger than normal) or negative (field weaker) depending on the susceptibility of the rock. The data are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose. These line dataset from the Southern Bowen Basin, Qld, 2004 survey were acquired in 2004 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 74554 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance. To constrain long wavelengths in the data, an independent data set, the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne magnetic data, was used to control the base levels of the survey data. This survey data is essentially levelled to AWAGS.

总磁强度（Total Magnetic Intensity, TMI）数据用于测量由地壳内造岩矿物成分差异引发的地球磁场强度变化。磁异常可分为正异常（磁场强度高于正常水平）与负异常（磁场强度低于正常水平），具体取决于岩石的磁化率。该数据已通过标准流程处理，以确保记录的响应仅源于地下岩石。处理后得到的数据集可通过解译揭示地下地质构造。经处理的数据已由GA地球物理学家开展质量核查，以确保GA对外发布的最终数据满足实际应用需求。本次2004年测量的数据集取自昆士兰州（QLD）鲍恩盆地南部，由昆士兰州政府于2004年采集，总测线长度达74554测线公里，测线间距为400米，离地高度为80米。为约束数据中的长波长成分，本次测量数据的基准面采用独立数据集——全澳航空地球物理调查（Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey, AWAGS）航空磁测数据进行校正。本次测量数据实质上已与AWAGS数据完成平差处理。
