MEASUREMENTS OF THE VERTICAL GEOMAGNETIC FIELD GRADIENT BENEATH THE SURFACE OF THE ARCTIC OCEAN*

ABSTRACT Simultaneous measurements made on an ice island and about 1000 ft. below show that magnetic anomalies can be detected in the presence of large time variations of the magnetic field. Attenuation and phase lag of time variations at depth are measurable but do not limit the utilization of the...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT Simultaneous measurements made on an ice island and about 1000 ft. below show that magnetic anomalies can be detected in the presence of large time variations of the magnetic field. Attenuation and phase lag of time variations at depth are measurable but do not limit the utilization of the vertical gradient of geomagnetic total intensity for defining crustal anomalies.
