Antarctic magnetic field data recorded at three British Antarctic Survey Automatic Geophysical Observatories (AGOs). The dataset contains search coil magnetometer measurements at 2 samples/sec, primarily used to study Ultra-Low-Frequency (ULF) waves from ~0.001 Hz to 5 Hz. The data was last updated in December 2003.
Use Cases
- Analyze ULF wave signatures based on magnetic field variations recorded at 2 samples/sec
- Study solar wind interaction effects based on transient variations in Earth's magnetic field
- Compare magnetospheric activity across Antarctic sites based on data from three specific AGO locations
Strengths
- Data recorded at a specific sampling rate of 2 samples/sec
- Observations from three distinct Antarctic sites with precise coordinates
Limitations
- Last updated 2003-12-07 23:59:59.999000; freshness should be verified
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
