Notes | BFE data is corrupted by frequent jumps (in H of 6 nT and Z of 3 nT) for certain applications and is unsuitable for scientific SV work since about 1995. Declination and F are basically not affected by the artificial disturbance at BFE. You can certainly use BFE data for applications where an error in inclination of 0.008 degrees is acceptable. (see this table for a comparison with nearby observatories.) Absolute: DI-fluxgate magnetometer (DI-flux), a proton magnetometer (ELSEC type PPM-880B) and a proton vector magnetometer (PVM) with stationary coils Variations: Three-component fluxgate variometers, DMI model FGD with tilt compensation. |
