High-Frequency Magnetic Field Measurements from Eskdalemuir Observatory, 2017

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 2017 to September 2017 and includes calibration files, example Matlab code, and spectrogram thumbnails. The dataset was provided by the British Geological Survey (BGS).

Use Cases

• Analyze geomagnetic pulsations and disturbances based on the high-frequency magnetic field time series.
• Develop or validate signal processing algorithms for geophysical data based on the included Matlab code examples.
• Calibrate induction coil sensor data to SI units based on the provided frequency calibration files.
• Study local magnetic field characteristics at a specific observatory based on the Eskdalemuir location.

Strengths

• Includes auxiliary materials such as example Matlab code and frequency calibration files for unit conversion.
• Covers a nine-month period from January to September 2017, providing a substantial temporal sample.
• Data is sourced from a professional observatory (Eskdalemuir) operated by the authoritative British Geological Survey.

Limitations

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