A satellite magnetic anomaly map made using the POGO magnetic field data is compared to three maps made using Magsat data. A total of 14 anomalies with magnitudes greater than 3 nT can be identified in all four of the maps poleward of 60°S latitude. Forward models of the Antarctic continental and oceanic lithosphere are produced which use magnetic crustal thickness based on seismic and heat flow data, and which also use the distribution of the Cretaceous Quiet Zone from marine geophysics. These simple models can explain significant parts of eight of the 14 identified anomalies. The remaining anomalies may be caused by lateral variations of magnetization, inadequate models of the magnetic crustal thickness, or remanent magnetizations in directions other than the present field. In addition, contamination of the magnetic anomaly maps by fields of time-varying external origin (and their corresponding internal parts) is still a significant problem in the Antarctic region.

<p>The modern epoch of ground magnetic surveying activity on the Czech territory was started by the Institute of Geophysics by setting up a fundamental network of the 1<sup>st</sup> order in 1957-58. It consists of 199 points and was reoccupied in 1976-78 and 1994-96. The anomaly maps were constructed by subtraction of the IGRF model.</p><p>Extensive aeromagnetic measurements have been performed from 1959 to 1972 by permalloy probe of Soviet provenience. The accuracy of the instrumentation was about (and often above) 10 nT. The second period of airborne survey started in 1976. Thanks to the deployment of proton precession magnetometer, the accuracy improved to ~ 2 nT. Since 2004 the measurements were carried out by caesium magnetometer. The data were digitized, known anthropogenic anomalies were cleared away and data were transformed to the regular grid with step 250 m. The final data file of magnetic anomalies ΔT, administered by the Czech Geological Survey, represents a substantial contribution to the exploration of ore deposits and to the structure geology in general.</p><p>In view of the fact that data file of magnetic anomalies was compiled from data acquired by heterogeneous methods in the course of more than 50 years, our recent study is aimed at looking into the homogeneity of the data by comparison them with ground-based magnetic survey. A simple comparison of the contour maps showed good similarity of the large regional anomalies. For more detailed analysis, the variation of ΔT in the neighbourhood of all points of the fundamental network was inspected and the basic statistic characteristics were computed. Summary results as well as several examples will be presented accordingly as the INSPIRE compliant services and eventually as the user-friendly web map application and made available on the CGS Portal http://mapy.geology.cz/ and on the updated web of the CzechGeo/EPOS consortium www.czechgeo.cz. Incorporating the map into the World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map (WDMAM – IAGA) is also under consideration. This data will also be interesting for the EPOS.</p>

A contoured magnetic anomaly map constructed from aeromagnetic profiles reflects the established tectonic patterns of the Fennoscandian region and permits speculations about such features as continental discontinuities colinear with oceanic fracture zones. An interpretation of the most outstanding magnetic anomaly of the region, in west-central Sweden, shows that its source is associated with a Precambrian anorogenic complex and has an unusually high magnetization. Magnetic similarities between the Baltic and Canadian shields are briefly discussed.

In this paper, the differential Markov random-field (DMRF) method is introduced and applied to the magnetic anomaly separation problem, in which residual anomalies are separated from a regional field. The DMRF method is an unsupervised statistical model-based learning approach that does not require prior knowledge. A data-adaptive program, based on the evaluation of noise and superimposed effects of various geologic structures, is presented by considering a statistical maximum a posteriori (MAP) criterion. The aim of our method is to capture the intrinsic properties of geologic structures and then to identify and hence understand the behavior of the observed magnetic-anomaly map. The magnetic-anomaly map is modeled using a 2D matrix. In the DMRF approach, each pixel of the matrix is evaluated considering neighboring pixels. In synthetic models, anomalies of magnetic dipoles are tested for different depths, orientation angles, and lengths. The DMRF method also is applied to the vertical magnetic-anomaly map of the Sivas-Divrigi region in Turkey, which contains the Dumluca iron ore reserves. Shallow reserves are detected clearly by the DMRF method, proving greater accuracy than classical filtering techniques. The results are confirmed by Technical Ore Research of Turkey (MTA) drilling reports.

<p>The World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map (WDMAM) is an initiative of the IAGA (International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy) supported by the CGMW (Commission for the Geological Map of the World) of UNESCO. The second version was released in 2015 (Dyment et al., 2015; Lesur et al., 2016), and mandate was given to the authors to update this version 2.0 using the same methodology as often as newly available data would make it necessary. Five better datasets justify the preparation and release of version 2.1: (1) the complete digital aeromagnetic map of Brasil made available to CGMW by Agência Nacional do Petróleo, Gás Natural e Biocombustíveis; (2) an improved version of the aeromagnetic map of Russia prepared at VSEGEI; (3) the second version of the Antarctic Digital Magnetic Anomaly maP (ADMAP; Golynsky et al., 2018) which construction results from a remarkable international effort during and after the Second International Polar Year; (4) a new map of the Caribbean plate and Gulf of Mexico resulting from the compilation and re-processing of existing marine and aeromagnetic data in the area (Garcia, 2018); and (5) a new compilation of marine magnetic data worldwide. The new map shows significant improvements over the previous versions and will be shortly available at wdmam.org.</p>

<p>The TOMO-ETNA experiment was devised for the investigation of the continental and oceanic crust beneath Mt. Etna volcano and northeastern Sicily up to the Aeolian Islands, through an active source study. In this experiment, a large amount of geophysical data was collected both inland and in the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas for identifying the major geological and structural features offshore Mt. Etna and NE Sicily. One of the oceanographic cruises organized within the TOMO-ETNA experiment was carried out on the hydrographic vessel “Galatea” by Italian Navy. During the cruise a detailed magnetic survey and a set of ROV (remotely operated vehicle) dives were performed offshore Mt. Etna. The magnetic survey allowed the compilation of a preliminary magnetic map revealing a clear direct relationship between volcanic structures and high frequency magnetic anomalies. Significant positive magnetic anomalies were identified offshore the Timpa area and along the easternmost portion of the Riposto Ridge <span>and</span> correlated to a primitive volcanic edifice and to shallow volcanic bodies, respectively. On the whole, the magnetic anomaly map highlights a clear SW-NE decreasing trend, where high amplitude positive magnetic anomaly pattern of the SW sector passes, northeastwardly, to a main negative one. ROV dives permitted to directly explore the shallowest sectors of the Riposto Ridge and to collect several videos and seafloor samples, allowing us to identify some locally developed volcanic manifestations.</p>

The magnetic anomaly map of North America and its related data set provide the opportunity not only to view the obvious short‐wavelength anomalies (<300 km) in a continental context, but to isolate and analyze the longer wavelength anomalies. However, care must be used in analyzing the longer wavelengths because of the effects of noncrustal sources on these anomalies. Inversion of the anomalies into lateral variations of crustal magnetization suggests that the long‐wavelength anomalies (>2600 km) are strongly affected by core field components that have not been completely removed from the North American data set. Furthermore, the piecewise matching of the magnetic anomalies of adjacent survey areas in the map compilation has contaminated the intermediate wavelength anomalies (300–2600 km).

Well Correlation

Four separate magnetic anomaly maps of the earth are derived from magnetometer satellite data acquired at dawn and at dusk using two different altitude ranges. The magnetic anomalies on the two dawn maps (or dusk maps) are well correlated for spherical harmonics of degree less than 51, suggesting that the time varying external magnetic field and leveling noise have negligible effects on these harmonics. Dawn and dusk maps have an appreciable asymmetric component for harmonics of degree n ⩽ 5 and n = 15 and 17, arising from the quasi‐stable external magnetic field. Dawn‐dusk covariant harmonics of degree [Formula: see text] with signal‐to‐noise ratios greater than 1.5 correlate well. Correlation coefficients are higher than 0.75, implying that these harmonics can be repeatably derived. A global scalar magnetic anomaly map is derived based on these harmonics. The map is then converted to a magnetic susceptibility anomaly map by an inversion technique. The susceptibility anomalies delineate the ocean‐continent differences as well as the boundaries of tectonic provinces, modern uplifts, crustal rifts, and sedimentary basins.
