Sentinel
Stationary Overhauser base-station magnetometers that correct survey data for diurnal and magnetic-storm variation, for land or seafloor deployment to 6,000 m.
Description
Sentinel base stations act as a second, stationary magnetometer that removes random and systematic background magnetic variation, such as diurnal changes and magnetic storms, from survey data. Two versions are offered.
Key features
- Sentinel2: tripod base station with integrated GPS for UTC time sync, WiFi data transfer and 30-45 hours battery life; 0.02 nT sensitivity; 15.2 kg on land
- Sea Sentinel: seafloor base station rated to 1000 m (optional 3000 m or 6000 m) with 0.015 nT standard sensitivity, 0.2 nT absolute accuracy and a one-million-reading memory
- Sea Sentinel deploys by float or tripod with acoustic release recovery and is configured with BaseLink software
- Range 18,000 to 120,000 nT
Applications
Correcting marine magnetometer survey data for background magnetic variation over long survey periods.
