Continuation of the aeromagnetic surveys in southern and central West Greenland between 64° and 72°N

Abstract

In the summer of 1976 the aeromagnetic surveys, started in 1975 (Thorning, 1976), were continued. The aircraft type, most of the instrumentation and the general logistic arrangements were as in 1975. Base of operations was again Søndre Strømfjord Air Base. The airborne system was improved by the addition of a radar altimeter with a better performance and a range of 5000 ft. The digital reeording system could bee given manual input and this was utilised to get an in-flight digital registration of barometric altitude.
