2013 High-Frequency Magnetic Field Data from Eskdalemuir Observatory, UK

High frequency (100 Hz) data from two horizontal induction coils measuring the Earth's magnetic field at the Eskdalemuir Observatory in the United Kingdom. The data covers the period from January 2013 to December 2013 and includes Matlab code examples, calibration files, and spectrogram thumbnails. It was supplied by the British Geological Survey (BGS).

Use Cases

• Analyze diurnal and seasonal variations in the Earth's magnetic field based on the 100 Hz induction coil data.
• Develop or validate signal processing algorithms for geophysical data using the included Matlab code examples.
• Calibrate magnetic field measurement equipment using the provided frequency calibration files.
• Generate spectrograms for visualizing magnetic field activity based on the supplied thumbnail examples.

Strengths

• Data covers a full calendar year from January to December 2013.
• Includes supplementary resources like Matlab code and calibration files for data conversion.
• Associated metadata about the setup and equipment is supplied.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to a single UK observatory.
