Brief Description (Abstract):

Total intensity measurements of earth's magnetic field were carried out at Schirmacher Hill region and on the ice shelf in the vicinity of the Indian Permanent Station, Dakshin Gangotri using a couple of proton precession magnetometers. During the magnetic surveys strong diurnal fluctuations were often observed. Several sets of data were rejected when diurnal corrections could not be effec-tively made. Finally three magnetic traverses totalling about 3 line km with average station interval of 7 m and 6 short criss crossing magnetic profiles totalling over 2 line km in the Schirmacher Hill region were found suitable for further processing.

Status: Completed

Purpose: Geomagnetic measurements in Antarctica have been an integral part of geophysical investigations undertaken from the very beginning. During the first International Polar Year (1882-83) simultaneous studies of meteorology, geo- magnetism and aurorae were undertaken at twelve stations in Arctic and two stations in Antarctica. Later magnetic measurements in Antarctica got much impetus during the International Geophysical Year (1957-58) and subsequent International Years of Quiet Sun.
