High Frequency Magnetic Field Data from Eskdalemuir Observatory, 2016

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 2016 to December 2016. The dataset is provided by the British Geological Survey (BGS) and includes examples of Matlab code, frequency calibration files, thumbnail spectrograms, and metadata.

Use Cases

• Analyze geomagnetic field variations based on high-frequency (100 Hz) induction coil measurements.
• Develop or test signal processing algorithms based on the provided Matlab code examples.
• Calibrate magnetic field data to SI units based on the included frequency calibration files.
• Generate spectrograms for magnetic field activity based on the provided thumbnail examples.

Strengths

• Data covers a full calendar year from January 2016 to December 2016.
• Includes supplementary resources like Matlab code examples and calibration files for data conversion.
• Data is sourced from the Eskdalemuir Observatory, a known geophysical monitoring site.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
