Airborne and satellite measurements. The new airborne-magnetic map of Australia: applications, expectations and problems

Abstract

Airborne magnetic surveying has been in progress in Australia since 1951, and a first pass cover may be completed by about 1990. Approximately 50% of the surveys will provide digital data and the others will have provided analogue recorded profiles and hand reduced contours. It is intended that standard scale pixel maps will be published and will provide a digital database for general use from all suitable data.
