Using explosives as a source, how deep should we drill the shot holes?
General Seismograph Info

That depends on a variety of factors such as the amount of explosives to be used Per shot, your desired depth of exploration, etc. The answer is ideally that you drill the shot holes deep enough to avoid blowouts, but no deeper. If you are using explosives we recommend the use of the HVB-1 Blaster. We have HVB-1 Blasters available through our Rental Department as well.

What are the battery requirements/considerations for the Geode Seismograph?
Hardware

The Geode Seismograph uses 0.5 W/ch during acquisiton with a 0.25 ms sample rate. With that power consumption, a single 12 amp-hour battery is sufficient for a typical day of data acquisition. In standby mode, power consumption is reduced by 70%. We recommend you run each Geode AU unit off of its own battery (2 is one and 1 is none), but you can run two Geode's off of one battery if the battery is able to deliver 2 amps Per hour. The smaller the battery, the more often it needs to be recharged, so keep that in mind when deciding on your power source.

What is degaussing? How can I degauss metallic components for my magnetometer setup?
General Magnetometer Info

Degaussing is a method by which magnetic domains in metals or magnetic inclusions in other materials are randomized so that net magnetization is minimized. One tool do accomplish this is the “Bulk Tape Eraser” designed to erase data tapes. The method works because the “Bulk Tape Eraser” generates an alternating electromagnetic field, which flips the magnetization of the magnetic domains in the material at 100 or 120 reversals Per second (50 or 60 hertz). As the operator slowly removes the “Eraser” from the vicinity of the magnetized material, the magnetic domains of the material individually freeze in one orientation or the other, leaving the domains in a randomized orientation with minimal net magnetic effect. Degaussing with a Bulk Tape Eraser *The procedure is straight forward. Plug the Eraser into an extension cord or wall socket (the Eraser cord is usually short). Holding the object to be degaussed in one hand, depress the Eraser start button and move it towards the object. Once close to the object or section of material, begin moving the Eraser with a small circular motion and then increase the radius of the circle as you draw the Eraser away from the object. DO NOT STOP the Eraser closer than three feet from the object being degaussed or it will become strongly magnetized in one direction! If this happens accidentally, just redo the degaussing procedure over again starting from the beginning. *For larger objects, run the Eraser along tubing or struts in a circular motion to “bathe” the objects in an oscillating field. Be sure to cover the entire surface area of the object being degaussed. Then slowly withdraw the eraser (while still running) until it is at least 3 feet away. Then release the power switch. *The magnetometer can be used to check the sufficiency of the degaussing procedure. After degaussing, rotate the object close to an operating magnetometer to see if there is a response from the magnetometer. This is best done with a cesium magnetometer operated in gradient mode, but it can be done with a single sensor with one Person watching the result and another moving the object near the sensor. Degaussing Sensor Mount Degaussing Pack Frame Degaussing GPS Antenna Limitations of Degaussing with a Bulk Eraser Depth of penetration: The Bulk Tape Eraser can only randomize materials to a certain depth. This is due to the size of the gap in the degaussing unit. A small gap makes for a very large degaussing field at the gap (about 2000 gauss, or 200 million nanoteslas), but also for a very rapid falloff away from the gap. Bulk tape erasers are optimized to penetrate through the thickness of a typical video tape. This gives a typical depth of an inch (2.5 cm). Deeper objects may need to be degaussed using stronger degaussing fields. Degaussing through a conductive chassis: An additional problem occurs when the object being degaussed is covered by a conductive surface (such as a sheet of aluminum). The degaussing field will generate huge eddy currents in the conductive surface which will generate its own opposing magnetic field. This will be evident to the operator because the opposing field will cause the degausser to buzz loudly. This doesn’t hurt anything, but be aware that the degaussing field on the other side of the conductive surface will be attenuated by some amount, so it may take a longer amount of time or multiple passes to degauss the object. The Bulk Tape Eraser is a short duty cycle device. It varies a little from manufacturer to manufacturer, but typically it is rated for 1 minute on and 5 to 10 minutes off. Most have an internal thermal cutout that will shut it off if it overheats, and if tripped may take 20 minutes or more to cool down enough to reset. Frequently Asked Questions Why is degaussing needed? Degaussing misaligns magnetic domains so that there is no net Permanent magnetization that would give an offset or heading error to magnetic field readings. Sensitive magnetometers such as those manufactured by Geometrics can be effected by nearby materials that are not sufficiently magnetically randomized. Degaussing does not alter the induced magnetic moment of any material. A piece of steel, when degaussed, is still magnetic because it draws and concentrates the earth’s field through it. However, a degaussed piece of steel is much less magnetic than a Permanently magnetized piece. How much effect does it have on magnetic signatures? Depending on the distance from the sensor to the magnetic object and the amount of magnetization, the effects can be very large -10’s of nanoTeslas. Many materials including brass, aluminum, fiberglass and other non-ferrous materials may have some ferrous materials in them naturally or acquired during the manufacturing process. Other materials such as ‘non-magnetic’ stainless steel are hugely magnetic when compared to the sensitivity of our magnetometers. Degaussing can decrease the magnetic effect of these materials by a factor of 10 or more. What should I degauss? The operator should degauss any metallic object that is near the sensor. By “near”, in general we mean within 1 meter but certainly those metallic and non-metallic materials within a few centimeters of the sensor must be considered (this also includes the sensor itself, which could have minute magnetic inclusions in the sensor materials). This could also include GPS antennas, magnetometer cart assemblies (including brass fittings, bolts, clamps), buckles, eyeglasses, boots and parts of backpacks. We would also do occasional degaussing of the G-858 console and batteries. Will degaussing hurt anything? This is a tough question since it is impossible to imagine every conceivable system arrangement that could be subjected to degaussing. In all our experience we have never had any electronics device hurt by the degaussing process. This is because the induced voltages from the degausser are low, and the electronics components have a fairly high impedance at low voltages. It would be safer to degauss electronics while the power to the electronics is turned off in case the small induced voltages cause the device to operate incorrectly. It is always safe to degauss any of Geometrics’ manufactured equipment (including the sensor). On the other hand, here are some things to consider when degaussing some types of objects. Large conductive planes or rings will have large circulating currents induced in them by the degausser (but the voltages are still very small). This induced current will produce an opposing magnetic field that will fight the degaussing field – causing both the degausser and the conductive plane/loop to vibrate substantially. If the device being degaussed is sensitive to this vibration (intricate mechanical workings and the like) then this is a possible route for causing some damage. Also, sometimes objects being degaussed have embedded magnets that are necessary for the device to operate properly. A good example is a device with a Permanent magnet speaker inside. Generally it is hard to degauss a magnetically hard Permanent magnet, but the degausser is strong enough to at least partially do the job. A partially degaussed speaker (or other object that requires a magnet to work right) isn’t going to work the same as before – so be aware. [Things that have magnets in them shouldn’t be used near magnetometers anyway.] When to degauss and how often? We recommend that parts close to the sensor be degaussed before every major survey event. In other words on a weekly or monthly basis or before a new survey. Remnant magnetism or “Perm” can be “picked up” (domains realigned) when the materials are static in the earth’s magnetic field for a Period of time. The amount of time required to acquire a “Perm” can be from days to weeks or months depending on the magnetic “hardness” of the materials. This is also known as the materials “susceptibility”, that is, susceptibility to being magnetized. Also, magnets are everywhere, and they can easily and unknowingly ‘perm’ up parts on or near the sensor. Magnetic screwdrivers, for example, are great for holding steel screws on the end of the driver while starting them into a threaded hole, but they are bad news near any magnetometer sensors.

Is MagArrow's "Altitude" with respect to ellipsoid or geoid?
Hardware
Rui Zhang
3 years ago
2 Relevance
Altitude refers to Meters Above Mean Sea Level. For both MagArrow I and II, the altitude is ellipsoidal and the earth model is WGS84. For additional information: Overview Reported elevations from MagArrow (and G-864 and MagEx) are the unedited values from the elevation field in the GNSS's GGA NMEA string. That value is the GNSS's calculated height above geoid; height above geoid is the standard meaning of the elevation field in the GGA NMEA string. But what does calculated height above geoid mean? Definitions GNSS - Global Navigation Satellite System GPS - The GNSS operated by the United States. Other systems include GLONASS(Russia), Galileo (Europe), BeiDou (China), QZSS (Japan), IRNSS (India). Ellipsoid - A comparatively simple or abstract geometric model of Earth's surface. Geoid - A more complex model of Earth's surface that takes the place of what was previously called Mean Sea Level. At any particular latitude or longitude, the geoid's surface may be above or below the ellipsoid's by as much as a few hundred meters, depending on regional and local geography and geology. Reference datum - A specific model of Earth's shape (such as WGS84, EGM96...), including references to specific landmarks. Calculations A particular GNSS, for example the GPS system run by the United States, provides timing data to a receiver to calculate the receiver's position above or below a particular latitude and longitude on the surface of the ellipsoid. The GNSS receiver first uses that timing data to calculate its height over the ellipsoid, and then subtracts from it the local height of the geoid over the ellipsoid (or HAE), to arrive at the local height of the receiver over the geoid (or in old-fashioned terms, elevation over mean sea level): h - calculated height above geoid. This is the value reported in the GGA elevation field. H - height of the receiver over the ellipsoid (calculated from GNSS timing signals) N - local height of geoid over the ellipsoid, or HAE, Per a lookup table or other local reference. h = H - N      Because the local height of the geoid over the ellipsoid is not provided by the GNSS, it must be provided locally, i.e. by the GNSS receiver, which may contain an internal database from which the local geoid height over ellipsoid (or HAE) can be found, based on the receiver's latitude and longitude. Small GNSS receivers contain small HAE databases, so the HAE value will not be exact. Some small receivers contain no HAE table at all; in this case HAE is deemed to be zero, so that the reported elevation is the uncorrected height over ellipsoid.​​​​​​​ A user of elevation data from Geometrics' MagArrow, G-864, and MagEx magnetometers may evaluate or adjust the reported values of the GGA elevation field and the GGA HAE field, by comparing the GGA HAE values to another source of local HAE data; this may particularly be useful for GNSSes that report a HAE equal to zero. Geometrics magnetometers do not currently record the values of a VDOP calculation, which offers an additional statistical estimate of the accuracy of the GNSS elevation measurement.

Differences Between our Standard Cesium Magnetometers and the SX Model
General Magnetometer Info

Clarification regarding Geometrics standard magnetometers SX versions and the US Govt. export regulations In this brief review magnetometer specifications are given in terms of both nT/sq-rt-Hz RMS and in Peak-to-Peak (P-P) noise values as both forms are often used to describe instrument Performance. The US Government specifies that an export license is required for magnetometers that have a sensitivity of better than (noise level less than) 0.02nT/sq-rt-Hz RMS. Obtaining an export license is not difficult but it does require approximately 6-8 weeks. Not all geophysical applications require export license sensitivity and so we offer SX models that have a noise floor of 0.02nT/sq-rt-Hz RMS. Compare this with our G-858 Magnetometer at 0.008nT/sq-rt-Hz RMS and our G-882 Marine Magnetometer at 0.004nT/sq-rt-Hz RMS. What does SX Performance mean in the survey results? When the sensor is deployed at some distance from the “source” such as in above the shoulder mounting for geological surveys (G-859SX) or at some distance (several meters) from the seafloor for G-882SX surveys, the distance from the source provides some natural filtering of the near surface response. This means that surveys not focused on small target detection (20mm ordnance rounds) where the sensor is deployed very close to the ground (<1m), SX Performance is more than adequate. Let us consider the G-858 man-portable model. Under low noise laboratory conditions at a sample rate of 10 samples Per second, the G-858SX will show approximately 0.125 nT of noise (peak-to-peak) compared to a standard G-858 of about 0.05nT P-P. To understand the significance of this, the natural earth background noise due to geomagnetic micro-pulsations is about 0.02nT/sq-rt-Hz (about 0.125 nT peak-to-peak) at the quietest of times. Micro-pulsation amplitudes of 1 or 2 nT are common and, during active Periods, they may be larger than 10 nT. Any magnetometer will produce a record of the combination of the background noise (micro-pulsations, diurnal drifts, etc) and its own internal noise. If the various noise components are not correlated with each other they will add as the square root of the sum of their squared amplitudes. In the case of the G-858SX, the combination of instrument noise and background micro-pulsations will be: √(0.125nT^2 + 0.125^2) = 0.18nT. For the standard G-858, this combination will be: √(0.05nT^2 + 0.125^2) = 0.13nT. That is, the SX model will exhibit about 30% more noise amplitude compared to the standard model if the atmospheric noise is typical. Unless the survey measurements are referenced to a high Performance base station magnetometer equipped with a very accurate clock, the user will not be able to detect any difference between SX and standard Performance. If such base station data were available, the greatest difference that would be seen should be no greater than about 0.05nT P-P in the average peak-to-peak amplitude. Such small differences cannot be seen or even detected in the total field contour maps made for exploration surveys which are typically contoured at 1nT or more. It should be remembered that the amplitude of the geomagnetic micro-pulsations in the frequency range from 5hz to 10hz is not constant; i.e., at most times they will be greater than 0.125nT and occasionally less than this value. Their intensity is governed by the average intensity of the instantaneous global thunderstorm activity and sunspot activity.
