INUV: Inuvik Ground-based Vector Magnetic Field Data

Vector magnetic field measurements collected at the Inuvik ground station in Canada. The Level 2 data has a 0.5-second time resolution and is provided by Athabasca University Network. The dataset is managed by NASA and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze high-frequency geomagnetic disturbances based on the 0.5-second time resolution
• Study local magnetic field vector variations based on the ground-based station data
• Model magnetospheric-ionospheric coupling processes based on data from the Athabasca University Network
• Validate satellite magnetic field measurements based on concurrent ground-based observations

Strengths

• Data has a precise 0.5-second time resolution
• Station location is specified with geographic coordinates (Latitude 68.4, Longitude 226.2)
• Dataset is managed by NASA, suggesting institutional oversight

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data is stored in a BIN format which may require specialized tools for access
