Compatibility study of the MAGSAT data and aeromagnetic data

Abstract

The results of (1) an analysis of the fine attitude MAGSAT data covering the continental U.S., (2) analysis of the Project MAGNET U.S. aeromagnetic data in terms of its compatibility with the corresponding MAGSAT data, and finally, (3) analysis of MAGSAT data in the Pacific region and comparison with satellite gravity data are presented. All data reduction procedures are described and the resulting magnetic maps are given. The results indicate a general compatibility between the MAGSAT data and the MAGNET and gravity data.
