Priddis (ROTH): Ground-Based Vector Magnetic Field Measurements at 0.5-Second Resolution

Priddis, Alberta, ground-based vector magnetic field data collected by the Athabasca University Network. The Level 2 dataset has a 0.5-second time resolution from station ROTH, located at latitude 50.9 and longitude 245.7. It is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was last updated on March 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling geomagnetic disturbances based on high-resolution vector magnetic field data.
• Analyzing temporal patterns in Earth's magnetic field based on the 0.5-second time resolution.
• Correlating ground-based magnetic measurements with satellite observations based on the geographic location.
• Studying space weather impacts on terrestrial magnetic fields based on the vector field data.

Strengths

• Data has a high temporal resolution of 0.5 seconds.
• Station location is precisely specified at latitude 50.9 and longitude 245.7.
• Data is sourced from the authoritative Athabasca University Network and NASA.

Limitations

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