Birrindudu - Stake Range, NT, 1997 (P1001), 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 Tanami/Birrindudu, NT, 1997 survey were acquired in 1997 by the NT Government, and consisted of 81828 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing between 200m and 200m, and 60m 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.

总磁场强度（Total Magnetic Intensity, TMI）数据用于测量地壳内造岩矿物成分差异所引发的地球磁场强度变化。磁异常可分为正异常（磁场强度高于基准值）与负异常（磁场强度低于基准值），其类型取决于岩石的磁化率。本数据集通过标准化流程开展处理，以确保记录的响应仅源自地下岩石。经处理得到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地球物理学家进行质量核验，以保障GA发布的最终数据符合使用需求。该测线数据集源自1997年北领地（NT）塔纳米/比林杜杜地区的调查项目，由北领地政府于1997年采集，总测线长度达81828测线公里，测线间距为200米至200米，飞行地形离地高度为60米。为约束数据中的长波长分量，研究人员采用独立数据集——全澳航空地球物理调查（Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey, AWAGS）航空磁测数据，对本次调查数据的基准水平进行管控。本次调查数据已基本校准至AWAGS基准体系。
