Instrument:
Proton magnetometer
The proton precession magnetometer measures the total magnetic field intensity as the frequency of electric current which is generated by the proton precession. In order to avoid the ship's magnetization, the instrument is towed by the vessel about 200 - 300m. As a quality control, data of low reliability was removed (see section 5. for quality control criteria). Synthetic geomagnetic field values were calculated from IGRF models.
Manufacturer : Kawasaki Geological Engineering Co. Ltd.
Type : PROTO10
Measurement range : 30,000 - 65,000 nT
Resolution : 0.01 nT
Accuracy :  0.1 nT
Location : Dry Laboratory
The following corrections and calculations were performed.

(1) International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF)
Synthetic geomagnetic field values are calculated from IGRF 11th generation models by using navigation data ; latitude, longitude and date.
Reference:IAGA Division V-MOD Geomagnetic Field Modeling[http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/IAGA/vmod/igrf.html]

(2) Calculation of the geomagnetic field anomaly
An = F - Figrf
An: Total geomagnetic field intensity anomaly
F: Observed total geomagnetic field intensity
Figrf: Synthetic total geomagnetic field intensity from IGRF

(3) Output of the data
Time (UTC)
Latitude (degree)
Longitude (degree)
Observed total magnetic field intensity (nT)
Total geomagnetic field intensity anomaly (nT)
Following criteria were used for removal of data of low reliability:
    ・Time error (inversion of time, continuation of same timestamps)
    ・Ground speed of the ship below 1knot or exceeding 20knot
    ・Total geomagnetic field intensity anomaly exceeding ±4000nT
    ・Spatial gradient of the total geomagnetic field intensity anomaly exceeding ±300nT/km

(1) File naming rule: Cruise ID_corr.tmag
(2) Sampling rate: 20 seconds(It depends on geomagnetic field intensity and inclination )
(3) Geodetic system: WGS84
