Yukon Aeromagnetic Data Reprocessing for NTS 116I

Yukon, Canada, is the geographic scope for this reprocessed aeromagnetic dataset. The data was compiled and merged from different resolutions between November 2016 and March 2017, producing four derivative magnetic 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 anomaly patterns.
• Geological mapping and structural interpretation based on the Reduced-to-Pole and derivative maps.
• Integrating magnetic data with other geophysical surveys for regional analysis.

Strengths

• Data was reprocessed and levelled individually for each map sheet, which suggests quality control.
• Four specific derivative products are generated for each map: Residual Total Magnetic Field, RTP, RTP_VD, and RTP_TDR.
• 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 and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific NTS 116I map sheet area.
