2014 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. The data covers the full year of 2014 and was collected at the Eskdalemuir Observatory in the United Kingdom by the British Geological Survey. Included are Matlab code examples, calibration files for converting to SI units, thumbnail spectrograms, and metadata about the setup and equipment.

Use Cases

• Analyze high-frequency geomagnetic variations based on 100 Hz induction coil data.
• Develop or test signal processing algorithms based on the included Matlab code examples.
• Calibrate magnetic field measurement equipment based on the provided frequency calibration files.
• Study specific geomagnetic events in 2014 using the continuous time-series coverage.

Strengths

• Data covers a full calendar year from January to December 2014.
• Includes supplementary resources like Matlab code and calibration files for unit conversion.
• Provides metadata about the experimental setup and equipment at the observatory.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and data size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single UK observatory in 2014.
