Yukon Aeromagnetic Data Reprocessing for NTS 116P, 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 First Vertical Derivative (RTP_VD) and Tilt Derivative (RTP_TDR) maps.
• Regional geophysical mapping and analysis using the compiled and levelled Residual Total Magnetic Field data.

Strengths

• Data reprocessing was performed over a defined period from November 2016 to March 2017.
• Four specific magnetic derivative products are generated for each 250k 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 and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
