Bettles (BETT) Ground-based Vector Magnetic Field (L2) 1.0 s Data provides vector magnetic field measurements from Bettles, Alaska. The dataset is produced by the University of Alaska Network and hosted by NASA. It was last updated on March 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze geomagnetic disturbances based on vector magnetic field measurements.
• Study diurnal and seasonal magnetic field variations based on high-resolution time-series data.
• Validate satellite-based magnetic field models based on ground-based observations from Bettles, Alaska.
• Monitor space weather events like geomagnetic storms based on real-time magnetic field fluctuations.

Strengths

• Data has a high temporal resolution of 1.0 seconds.
• Station location is precisely specified at GEO Latitude 66.9, Longitude 208.5.
• Dataset is hosted by a major scientific organization, NASA.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
