Law Dome Magnetic Field Observations Log from 1971

Magnetic observations were recorded on Law Dome, Antarctica, during 1971. The Australian Antarctic Division (AU_AADC) created this log, which was archived as a hard copy document. The dataset was last updated in the system on January 15, 1972.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in magnetic_field_strength or declination recorded throughout 1971.
• Correlate observation_timestamp with solar or geological events using the log entries.
• Use station_location metadata (Law Dome) for regional magnetic mapping studies.

Strengths

• Provides a focused temporal snapshot of magnetic conditions for a full calendar year (1971).
• Originates from an authoritative polar research organization (Australian Antarctic Division).

Limitations

• The dataset's size, row count, and specific column schema are unknown.
• Data is temporally stale, representing observations from over 50 years ago.
• Accessibility is limited as the primary record is a physical, archived hard copy.
