Current Technology AvailableCurrent Technology Available•Higher sensitivity magnetometer sensors•Low noise digital transmission.•fixed height and accurate line spacing.•3D software modelling tools such as Geosoft Oasis montaj.•Towed Gradiometer Platforms. Vertical Gradient –One sensor mounted Transverse Gradient –Sensors mounted side Longitudinal Gradient –One sensor behind Total Field Gradient –A gradient derived That was the theory, in practice That was the theory, in practice however we need to consider however we need to consider the followingthe followingAttitude of the array must remain stable.•A rigid frame must resist vibration.•As far as practical keep a fixed altitude.•offsets from one another.Frame gives high drag which makes deep towing tricky. GSE Rentals Gradiometer GSE Rentals Gradiometer Acquisition SoftwareAcquisition Software•Real time scrolling display.•Logs raw sensor data as well as calculated gradient values.•Synchronisation of the Overhauser Sensors.•Flexible interfacing capabilities. Some obvious things to Some obvious things to consider when planning the consider when planning the surveysurvey…..What is the water depth and the seabed topography like?•What vessel can you use? Is it magnetic away?Is the survey location in a difficult magnetic environment i.e. a harbour or near a platform? 18/11/2005Thank you
