|
Magnetic measurements can reveal the strength and direction of the geomagnetic field. One or two Cesium magnetometers are mounted in a combination of nose and/or tail booms. In addition, a Fluxgate Magnetometer for attitude compensation is installed. The sensor system and real-time compensation are 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. aircraft:bt-67:magnetics (6815) |

Rawdata storage on board
Metadata (Metadata Plugin) |
---|
|
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) |
---|
|
After the flight CS-3 and Fluxgate magnetometer data are accessible via the land system of the aircraft data managment system (DMS). Base station data of the GEM Overhauser magnetometers are downloaded frequently and are made accessible via the external devices file system of the aircraft data managment system (DMS). |
