Yukon Aeromagnetic Data Reprocessing for NTS 115N, 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 interpretation based on the Residual Total Magnetic Field maps.
• Mineral exploration targeting based on the Reduced-to-Pole Magnetic Field (RTP) maps.
• Structural analysis based on the First Vertical Derivative of the Reduced-to-Pole Magnetic Field (RTP_VD).
• Edge detection of magnetic sources based on the Tilt Derivative of the Reduced-to-Pole Magnetic Field (RTP_TDR).

Strengths

• Data reprocessing was performed over a defined period from November 2016 to March 2017.
• Four specific magnetic derivative map types are produced for each 250k-scale map sheet.
• Data is provided in three standard geospatial formats: PDF, GeoTIFF, and Geosoft grid files.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific NTS 115N map sheet area.
