Abstract
The radiometric, or gamma-ray spectrometric method, measures the natural variations in the gamma-rays detected near the Earth's surface as the result of the natural radioactive decay of potassium (K), uranium (U) and thorium (Th). The data collected 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. This Andamooka Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and DEM Survey, 2017 (P1282), radiometric line data were acquired in 2017 by the SA Government, and consisted of 81874 line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

Lineage
This Andamooka Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and DEM Survey, 2017 (P1282), radiometric line data is an airborne-derived radiometric data for the Andamooka Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and DEM Survey, 2017. The data was acquired under the project No. 1282 for the geological survey of SA. A total of 81874 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing of 200m were acquired during this survey. Noise-adjusted singular value decomposition (NASVD) has been applied to the data. NASVD is a spectral component analysis procedure for the removal of noise from gamma-ray spectra. Details of the specifications of individual airborne surveys can be found in the Fourteenth Edition of the Index of Airborne Geophysical Surveys (Percival, 2014). This Index is also available online at http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/79134. Reference: Percival, P.J., 2014. Index of airborne geophysical surveys (Fourteenth Edition).
