ARCT: Arctic Village Ground-based Vector Magnetic Field Measurements

1.0-second resolution vector magnetic field data collected at the Arctic Village, Alaska ground station (GEO Latitude 68.1, Longitude 214.4). The dataset is part of the University of Alaska Network and is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The dataset was last updated on March 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze geomagnetic disturbances based on high-resolution vector magnetic field measurements.
• Study diurnal and seasonal magnetic field variations based on Arctic location data.
• Validate satellite-based magnetic field models based on ground-based observations.
• Monitor space weather events like geomagnetic storms based on continuous 1-second data.

Strengths

• Data has a high temporal resolution of 1.0 seconds.
• Station location is precisely specified (Latitude 68.1, Longitude 214.4).
• Dataset is part of a recognized scientific network (University of Alaska Network).

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 bias inherent to a single Arctic station.
