Yukon Aeromagnetic Survey Reprocessing for NTS 106C, 2016-2017

Reprocessing of magnetic data for Yukon was performed between November 2016 and March 2017. Aeromagnetic data were compiled, merged, and levelled to produce derivative maps for each 250k-scale map sheet. The dataset is provided by the Government of Yukon and includes maps in PDF, GeoTIFF, and Geosoft grid formats.

Use Cases

• Geological mapping and interpretation based on the Residual Total Magnetic Field maps.
• Mineral exploration targeting using the Reduced-to-Pole (RTP) Magnetic Field data.
• Enhancing subtle magnetic features for analysis with the First Vertical Derivative (RTP_VD) maps.
• Edge detection of magnetic sources using the Tilt Derivative (RTP_TDR) maps.

Strengths

• Includes four processed magnetic derivative products (Residual TMF, RTP, RTP_VD, RTP_TDR) for each map sheet.
• Data is provided in three standard geospatial formats: PDF, GeoTIFF, and Geosoft grid files.
• Reprocessing work was conducted over a defined period from November 2016 to March 2017.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific NTS 106C map sheet area.
