Summary

contenttypeSummary

Magnetic measurements provide the direction of the geomagnetic field. Therefore, 2 Cesium Magnetometers are mounted in a Nose and a Tail Boom to the aircraft. In addition, a Fluxgate Magnetometer for attitude compensation is installed. The sensor system is controlled by an external unit (AADC II) mounted in a rack. Magnetic base stations with Overhauser magnetometers are used for ground reference of the airborne measurements.

Rawdata storage on board

Metadata (Metadata Plugin)
0Rawdata
During flight magnetometer data are stored within the aircraft onboard DMS system. Magnetic base stations record data independantly and continously.

Data archiving on land

Metadata (Metadata Plugin)
0DataOnLand
After the flight magnetometer data are accessible via the land system of the aircraft data managment system (DMS). Base station data are downloaded frequently and are made accessible via the external devices file system of the aircraft data managment system (DMS).
