VLDR: Val-d'Or Ground Magnetic Field Data at 0.5 s Resolution

Athabasca University Network provides Level 2 vector magnetic field measurements from the Val-d'Or station in Quebec. The data has a high temporal resolution of 0.5 seconds and originates from a specific geographic location (Latitude 48.2, Longitude 282.2). National Aeronautics and Space Administration is listed as the organization responsible for this dataset.

Use Cases

• Modeling local geomagnetic disturbances based on high-resolution vector field data.
• Analyzing temporal patterns in Earth's magnetic field based on 0.5-second time resolution.
• Correlating ground-based magnetic measurements with satellite data based on the Athabasca University Network context.

Strengths

• Data has a high temporal resolution of 0.5 seconds.
• Station location is precisely specified as GEO Latitude 48.2, Longitude 282.2.
• Dataset is part of a recognized network (Athabasca University Network).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is stored in a BIN format, which may require specialized tools for access.
