Summary

Abstract: The Geomagnetic Intensity Archive (GEOMAG1A50) database contains all published
absolute paleointensity data for the past 50,000 years, including 3702
paleointensity estimates from a collection of 159 separate studies.
GEOMAG1A50 currently includes all absolute Holocene geomagnetic intensity
determinations obtained from natural (e.g. extrusives and intrusives) or
archeological artifacts published in peer-reviewed journals.

Quality The MLS NRT data are not as accurate as the retrievals that constitute the standard MLS products, but nevertheless the results are of scientific use and track the standard MLS products with reasonable fidelity. NRT sulfur dioxide profiles are only recommended for scientific use at pressure levels from 215 hPa to 10.0 hPa.
