Airborne geophysical survey: Yucca Flats, Nevada

Aeromagnetic data were collected along flight lines by instruments in an
aircraft that recorded magnetic-field values and locations. In the earlier
days of surveying, the only way to represent this data was to generate an
analog map with contour lines. This dataset is a representation of the
digitized contour lines either by following the lines or by choosing the
intersection of the contour and flight-line to create a value of the magnetic
field. The values presented are latitude, longitude, and map magnetic-field
values.

本数据集的原始航空磁测数据由航空器搭载的仪器沿飞行航线采集，同步记录磁场强度与位置信息。在早期磁测作业中，该类数据唯一的可视化表达方式为绘制带等值线的模拟地图。本数据集为上述模拟地图中数字化等值线的成果表达，其生成方式包括沿原始等值线追踪采样，或选取等值线与飞行航线的交点以获取对应磁场强度数值。本次公开的数据包含纬度、经度与磁场强度三项参数。
