Abstract
The Australia-Wide Array of Geomagnetic Stations survey was an array of 58 vector magnetometers covering mainland Australia, but not Tasmania, and comprised 54 portable three-component magnetometers plus four permanent magnetic observatories. Time-series of geomagnetic field fluctuations were recorded at 1-minute intervals with 1 nanoTesla sensitivity, together with sensor temperature and time. The portable magnetometers in the array were programmed to commence recording simultaneously on 18 November 1989. Most instruments were kept operating for a nominal interval of 8 months. The last data were recorded on 17 December 1990. The survey was run jointly by Flinders University of South Australia and Geoscience Australia (previously the Australian Geological Survey Organisation). Further details are available: Welsh, W.
