Survey Date:June 8 to Oct. 4, 2012
Block:Blocks A, B, C1 & C2
Survey Extent:150,000 km total
Altitude:4 Piper Navajo aircraft (C-GJBB, C-GJBG, C-GJBA, C-GXKS): 80 m
Line Spacing:200 m & 400 m, Az: 135°; Ties: 1500 m, Az: 045°
Positioning:Differential GPS.
Instrumentation:Three Geometrics ? split-beam cesium vapour magnetometers mounted in aircraft wingtip pods (transverse gradient) and tail boom (longitudinal gradient); ? base station mag
Data Recorded:Total field mag; transverse & longitudinal mag gradient
Comments:Project funded from the Offshore Geoscience Data Program, Energy Plan, Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources.  The northern 2/3 of the survey area (blocks B, C1 and C2) was flown by Goldak Airborne Surveys; southern 1/3 (Block A) was flown by Terraquest Airborne Geophysics Ltd.  Open File maps were released Feb. 27, 2013.  DGRF for year 2012.58 removed from Total Field Mag data to yield residual; transverse and longitudinal gradients were determined from sensor differences; derived first and second vertical derivatives.  Data processing is described in detail in the report.
