Description

In a magnetic survey variations in the Earth's magnetic field are measured. The method has the advantage of being one of the easiest and cheapest geophysical techniques to carry out, since large areas can be covered quickly at a low cost and few corrections to the field data are required.

Specification

Self-oscillating split-beam Cesium Vapor (non-radioactive CS-133). Operating Range: 18,000 to 95,000 nT (?) Heading Error: < ± 0.5 nT (?)
