Regular daily variations in satellite magnetic total intensity data

Regular daily variations in satellite magnetic total intensity data

Regular magnetic daily quiet time (Sq) variations in total intensity of about 30 nT amplitude are determined in Universal Time (UT) from satellite magnetic field measurements. The CHAMP satellite traverses all hours of local time in 132 days and the Sq variations in total intensity are therefore calculated as an average over the 132 days for each hour of UT. Results are compared with the Sq dai...

3D migration for rapid imaging of total-magnetic-intensity data

Three-dimensional potential field migration for rapid imaging of entire total-magnetic-intensity (TMI) surveys is introduced, and real time applications are discussed. Potential field migration is based on a direct integral transformation of the measured TMI data into a 3D susceptibility model, which could be directly used for interpretation or as an a priorimodel for subsequent regularized inv...

Satellite measurements of daily variations in soil NOx emissions

[1] Soil NOx emission from agricultural regions in the western United States has been investigated using satellite observations of NO2 from the SCIAMACHY instrument. We show that the SCIAMACHY observations over a 2 million hectare agricultural region in Montana capture the short intense NOx pulses following fertilizer application and subsequent precipitation and we demonstrate that these variat...

Magnetic Intensity Variations in Sediment Cores from Leg 128 1

Variations of the intensity of magnetization in the sediment cores from Sites 798 and 799 were examined. Closely correlated variations in the magnetic intensity enabled estimation of the relative change of the sedimentation rate between the two sites. A high sedimentation rate of more than 30 cm/1,000 yr was inferred for about 550,000 yr ago at Site 799. The sedimentation rate was used to compa...
