Tanami EW 5N - K equivalent concentration grid (AWAGS)

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 radiometric potassium grid has a cell size of 0.00018 degrees (approximately 20m) and shows potassium element concentration of the NTGS Tanami EW 5N Region Detailed Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and Digital Elevation Survey, NT, 2018 in units of percent (or %). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2018 by the NT Government, and consisted of 11735 line-kilometres of data at 100m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance. To constrain long wavelengths in the grid, an independent data set, the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne magnetic data, was used to control the base levels of the survey grid.

Statement

This Tanami EW 5N - K equivalent concentration grid (AWAGS) is an airborne-derived radiometric potassium grid for the NTGS Tanami EW 5N Region Detailed Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and Digital Elevation Survey, NT, 2018. The survey was acquired under the project No. 1312 for the geological survey of NT. The grid has a cell size of 0.00018 degrees (approximately 20m). A total of 11735 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing of 100m and 60m terrain clearance were acquired to produce this grid. This radiometric potassium grid shows potassium element concentration of the NTGS Tanami EW 5N Region Detailed Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and Digital Elevation Survey, NT, 2018 in units of percent (or %). 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. To constrain long wavelengths in the grid, an independent data set, the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne magnetic data, was used to control the base levels of the survey grid (Milligan et al., 2009). This survey grid is essentially levelled to AWAGS. 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.
