THE RUBIDIUM VAPOR MAGNETOMETER AS A VECTOR INSTRUMENT FOR RECORDING MICROPULSATIONS.

Abstract

To study the induction effects of time variations in the earth's magnetic field, it is common, and desirable, to measure all three components of the field. A semiquantitative investigation of the induction effects of micro-pulsations was carried out using only vertical component observations. This paper is a discussion of the use of a scalar field magnetometer to measure the vertical component exclusively. The field procedure for using these A-meters and the possibility of expanding the system to a three component device are also considered. (Author)
