Overview:
• Data is publicly available from the USGS
• Requests for real-time data should be sent to geomagdata@usgs.gov
• Intermagnet application will be submitted after one year of stable baselines
• Higher-accuracy data available in real-time for Geomagnetic Referencing applications in oilfield drilling
The Observatory
• A public-private collaboration established between USGS and Schlumberger in 2009
• Observatory building constructed following USGS design for new Barrow observatory building
• USGS responsibilities: technical guidance; observatory oversight; training; equipment installation; data management and processing
