Identification and Evaluation of Magnetic-Field Sources of Magnetic Airborne Detector Equipped Aircraft

A general method for identifying and evaluating magnetic sources associated with the magnetic airborne detector-equipped aircraft is described. It is derived for the compensation of magnetic noise related to the maneuvers of the aircraft. Mathematical formulas are included with a uniform engineering method, that is independent of the type of magnetic source encountered, for analyzing magnetic airborne detector records. A method for calibrating magnetic sources while in flight is also offered.
