Sandstone (Woodley,Sandstone), WA, 1996 (P773), 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 Sandstone (Woodley,Sandstone), WA, 1996 survey were acquired in 1996 by the WA Government, and consisted of 9810 line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing and 40m 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）数据用于表征地壳中成岩矿物含量差异所引发的地球磁场强度变化。磁异常可分为正异常（磁场强度高于正常值）与负异常（磁场强度低于正常值），其分类取决于岩石的磁化率。该数据通过标准流程进行处理，以确保记录的响应仅源于地下岩石。处理所得的数据集可通过解译揭示地下地质结构。经处理的数据由GA地球物理学家开展质量核查，以确保GA发布的最终数据满足使用需求。本次1996年的测线数据集源自西澳大利亚州（Western Australia, WA）桑德斯通（Woodley,Sandstone）地区的航磁调查，由西澳大利亚州政府于1996年采集，总测线覆盖长度达9810公里，测线间距为200米，飞行离地高度为40米。为约束数据中的长波长分量，研究人员采用独立数据集——澳大利亚全域航空地球物理调查（Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey, AWAGS）航空磁测数据——对本次航磁调查数据的基准水平进行校正。本次调查数据已基本校准至AWAGS基准体系。
