Yukon Aeromagnetic Data Reprocessing for NTS 116H, 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 Government of Yukon provides these maps as PDFs, GeoTIFFs, and Geosoft grid files.

Use Cases

• Mineral exploration targeting based on magnetic derivative maps like Reduced-to-Pole (RTP).
• Geological structure interpretation based on the Tilt Derivative (RTP_TDR) maps.
• Regional geophysical mapping and analysis based on the compiled aeromagnetic data.
• Integration of magnetic data into GIS projects based on the provided GeoTIFF and grid formats.

Strengths

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

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 116H map sheet area.
