Abstract
Abstract. Three-axis magnetic flux gate sensors are widely used in Chinese geomagnetic observatories, but due to their directional errors, it is necessary to study error correction methods to improve measurement accuracy. Firstly, the mechanism of directional errors produced by three-axis magnetic flux gate sensors is analyzed, followed by the development of measurement tools for conducting directional error measurement experiments on the high-precision three-axis magnetic flux gate sensors of the Chinese FGM-01 series. Experimental results show that correcting the Z-axis and D-axis directional errors is essential. The observation data after error correction, whether in terms of the standard deviation of its all-day baseline values or the relative difference magnitude with the reference instrument, significantly decrease, demonstrating the clear correction effect and proving the effectiveness of this correction method.
摘要三轴磁通门传感器在我国地磁观测站中应用广泛,但由于其方向性误差较大,有必要研究误差修正方法以提高测量精度。首先分析了三轴磁通门传感器产生方向性误差的机理,然后开发了测量工具,对国产 FGM-01 系列高精度三轴磁通门传感器进行了方向性误差测量实验。实验结果表明,校正 Z 轴和 D 轴方向误差至关重要。误差修正后的观测数据,无论是其全天基线值的标准偏差,还是与参考仪器的相对差值幅度,都明显下降,显示了明显的修正效果,证明了这种修正方法的有效性。
期刊介绍:
Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems (GI) is an open-access interdisciplinary electronic journal for swift publication of original articles and short communications in the area of geoscientific instruments. It covers three main areas: (i) atmospheric and geospace sciences, (ii) earth science, and (iii) ocean science. A unique feature of the journal is the emphasis on synergy between science and technology that facilitates advances in GI. These advances include but are not limited to the following:
concepts, design, and description of instrumentation and data systems;
retrieval techniques of scientific products from measurements;
calibration and data quality assessment;
uncertainty in measurements;
newly developed and planned research platforms and community instrumentation capabilities;
major national and international field campaigns and observational research programs;
new observational strategies to address societal needs in areas such as monitoring climate change and preventing natural disasters;
networking of instruments for enhancing high temporal and spatial resolution of observations.
GI has an innovative two-stage publication process involving the scientific discussion forum Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems Discussions (GID), which has been designed to do the following:
foster scientific discussion;
maximize the effectiveness and transparency of scientific quality assurance;
enable rapid publication;
make scientific publications freely accessible.
