Cobar P5009 EXT 4 reduced to pole grid

Abstract

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. This magnetic grid has a cell size of 0.00039074 degrees (approximately 40m).The data are in nanoTesla (or nT). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2021 by the NSW Government, and consisted of 53617 line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance. The data has had a variable reduction to the pole applied to centre the magnetic anomaly over the magnetised body. The VRTP processing followed a differential reduction to pole calculation up to 5th order polynomial. Magnetic inclination and declination were derived from the IGRF-11 geomagnetic reference model using a data representative date and elevation representative of the survey.

Purpose

This data set forms part of the NSW and national airborne magnetic and radiometric mosaic that is continually updated with higher resolution datasets. When integrated with other geological, geochemical, geophysical or technical datasets, it provides pre-competitive insight into the mineral, groundwater, energy, soil and other resource potential of the continental land mass. Subject to the quality control, equipment tolerances and inherent limitations on the measurements themselves, it may also be employed for other geophysical and scientific investigations into the earth.

Lineage

This Cobar P5009 EXT 4 reduced to pole grid is an airborne-derived Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) Reduced to the Pole (RTP) grid for the Cobar Magnetic and Radiometric Survey, 2021. The survey was acquired under the project No. 5009 for the geological survey of NSW. The grid has a cell size of 0.00039074 degrees (approximately 40m). The data are in nanoTesla (or nT). A total of 53617 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing of 200m and 60m terrain clearance were acquired to produce this grid. The data has had a variable reduction to the pole applied to centre the magnetic anomaly over the magnetised body. The VRTP processing followed a differential reduction to pole calculation up to 5th order polynomial. Magnetic inclination and declination were derived from the IGRF-11 geomagnetic reference model using a data representative date and elevation representative of the survey. Details of the specifications of individual airborne surveys can be found in the Fourteenth Edition of the Index of Airborne Geophysical Surveys (Percival, 2014).
