Measuring subtle neuromagnetic signals requires eliminating background noises. Especially, a SQUID magnetometer is very sensitive to the magnetic noise even from a distant source. As typical software methods, we use the synthetic gradiometer of the adaptive filtering to reduce the noises. In this article, we present noise reduction effects in our 37-channel SQUID magnetometer system by applying each method including the frequency-domain adaptive filtering and discuss a selective application of the methods to the detection of clinical magnetoencephalogram signals.

다목적위성 1호(KOMPSAT-1, The first Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite)에 장착된 위성 자세제어용 3축 자력계(TAM, Three-Axis Magnetometer)로부터 2000년 6월 19일에서 21일 사이에 측정된 지구자기장을 분석하였다. TAM Telemetry 값을 지구관성좌표계에서 지구고정좌표계로 우선 변환시킨 후에 다시 구면좌표계로 변환하여 자료를 처리하였다. 지구자기장의 영향 이외의 위성내의 유도 전류나 온도변화로 인한 에러, 태양풍의 영향 등을 제거하였고 태양에 의한 영향을 제거하기 위해 제도를 지방시에 따라 상승 및 하강과 두 그룹으로 나눈 후 파동수대비법을 이용해 두 그룹 사이에 서로 역으로 대비되는 (inversely-correlated) 성분을 제거하였다. 측선 잡음을 제거하기 위하여 파동수 영역에서 Quadrant Swapping법을 도입하였고, 이로부터 연구 기간 중 최종적인 지구자기장을 추출하였다. KOMSAT TAM 으로부터 추출된 자기장의 주성분(corefield)을 동일 기간 중 KOMSAT과 유사한 고도에서 지구자기장 관측을 전문적으로 수행한 Ørsted 위성 관측값과 비교한 결과 이들 사이의 상관계수는 0.97로 매우 높게 나타났다 위성 자세보정용 자력계로 부터 관측된 자기장으로부터 신뢰도 있는 주성분 추출이 가능해짐에 따라 이로부터 전지구 구면조화계수를 유도할 경우 지구자기장 전문 관측위성이 존재하지 않는 기간 및 고도에 대한 자기장 연구가 가능하다.

We conducted magnetic survey using IBRV (Ice Breaker Research Vessel) ARAON of KORDI (Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute), ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) of Oceaneering Co. and three components vector magnetometer, at Apr., 2011 in the western slope of the caldera of TA25 seamount, the Lau Basin, the southwestern Pacific. The depth ranges of the survey area are from about 900 m to 1200 m, below sea level. For the deep sea magnetic survey, we made the nation's first small deep sea three components magnetometer of Korea. The magnetometer sensor and the data logger was attached with the upper part and lower part of ROV, respectively. ROV followed the planning tracks at 25 ~ 30 m above seafloor using the altimeter and USBL (Ultra Short Base Line) of ROV. The three components magnetometer measured the X (North), Y (East) and Z (Vertical) vector components of the magnetic field of the survey area. A motion sensor provided us the data of pitch, roll, yaw of ROV for the motion correction of the magnetic data. The data of the magnetometer sensor and the motion sensor were recorded on a notebook through the optical cable of ROV and the network of ARON. The precision positions of magnetic data were merged by the post-processing of USBL data of ROV. The obtained three components magnetic data are entirely utilized by finding possible hydrothermal vents of the survey area.

A magnetic survey on the lake war carried out to explore the possible UXO (unexploded ordnance) under the water. A magnetic gradiometer with 2 magnetometer sensors was used, which measures total magnetic intensity. For the positioning of the measurement points on the water, RTK (real time kinematic) survey system was used. The theoretical responses were calculated assumming the dimension and the material of the UXO so that the detectability could be investigated. Since the areal size of the survey vessel was rather small, the influence from the magnetic material of the vessel and the other equipments such as a laptop computer was not negligible, and the influence did not remain constant during the survey due to the change of survey direction. These effects were reduced remarkably using moving average technique. The result reveals the lineament of a pipe line laid on the bottom of the lake, which can be regarded as an indirect proof of detectability of the method.

In case axial symmetrical bodies with varying cross sections such as volcanic conduits and unexploded ordnance (UXO), it is efficient to approximate them by adding the response of thin disks perpendicular to the axis of symmetry. To compute the vector magnetic and magnetic gradient tensor respones by such bodies, it is necessary to derive an analytical expression of the circular disk. Therefore, in this study, we drive closed-form expressions of the vector magnetic and magnetic gradient tensor due to a circular disk. First, the vector magnetic field is obtained from the existing gravity gradient tensor using Poisson's relation where the gravity gradient tensor due to the same disk with a constant density can be transformed into a magnetic field. Then, the magnetic gradient tensor is derived by differentiating the vector magnetic field with respect to the cylindrical coordinates converted from the Cartesian coordinate system. Finally, both the vector magnetic and magnetic gradient tensors are derived using Lipschitz-Hankel type integrals based on the axial symmetry of the circular disk.

We have investigated Pi 2 pulsations which were observed both on ground magnetometer array and by satellites. On November 9th in 1994, Pi 2 pulsations appeared globally on the 190/210 magnetometer chain and Hermanus station when two satellites(EXOS-D and ETS-VI) were located near the magnetic meridian of the 210 array. The local time of measurements covers from morning(LT=8.47hr) to afternoon(LT=20.3hr) and the bandwidth of peak frequency is found relatively small. The signals of the electric field are highly coherent with ground-based observations with the out of phase oscillations. However, the magnetic field measurement on the ETS-VI in the outer magnetosphere(L=6.60) shows no signature of Pi 2 pulsations over the same time interval and the correlation with any of the ground-based stations is found to be very weak, even through both satellites and magnetometer chain are located close to each other in local time. We suggest that this event may be a direct evidence of Pi 2 pulsations as virtual resonant modes which are localized in the plasmasphere(Lee 1996). The results show that the cavity mode oscillations can occur in the inner magnetosphere with less spectral noise compared to the outer magnetospheric case.

The local coercivity distribution of CoCrPt alloy films prepared by dc magnetron sputtering has been investigated by means of a magneto-optical microscope magnetometer (MOMM) capable of simultaneously measuring the local properties on 400 nm spatial resolutions. Serial samples of CoCrPt alloy films were prepared with the Pt composition of a range from 6 to 28 at. %. We find that the local coercivity distribution crosses over from Gaussian to non-Gaussian distribution in CoCrPt alloy films with increasing Pt composition, with increasing trends in the width of the distribution as well as the average local coercivity. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies reveal that our findings are closely correlated with the dependences of the grain size distribution and its average size on Pt concentration.

A blank test was done to calculatee the car itself's magnetic effect as noise and to eliminate it from the data set of total magnetic intensity(=magnetic flux density) exploration in a car-borne magnetic exploration system. To calculate the induced magnetic intensity(= magnetization) and the remanent magnetic intensity(= magnetization) of the car itself, we have installed the magnetometer on a fixed point and measured the magnetic intensity letting the car move around the magnetometer, and we have changed the data set into an analogous data set as if acquired in the condition that we have parked the car on the same fixed point and measured the magnetic intensity moving the magnetometer around the magnetometer. Through an inversion with the later data set as input, we have calculated the magnetic center and the magnetic moments of the induced magnetic intensity(= magnetization) and the remanent magnetic intensity(= magnetization) of the car itself with the two centers coincided because of some barriers of the inversion algorithm that we have used in this study. On the other hand, we have extracted the magnetic anomaly by reducing i. e. vectorially eliminating the induced magnetic intensity(= magnetization) and the remanent magnetic intensity(= magnetization) of the car itself calculated forwardly, from the magnetic exploration data set acquired by the car-borne magnetic exploration system.
