Scientific paper

The primary objectives of the MAGSAT mission was to measure the intensity and direction of magnetization of the Earth's crust. A significant effort was directed to the large crustal anomalies first delineated by the POGO mission. The MAGSAT data are capable of spatial resolution of the crustal field to 250 km wavelength with reliability limits to less than 1 nT in the mean. The difficulties of dealing with less than the most robust of the MAGSAT anomalies is that often there is no more than the magnetic fields themselves to constrain geophysical models of the interior, and no independent means of assessing the quality of the crustal anomaly data in interpreting the subsurface are available.
