Abstract
The year 2004 will offer an exciting and cost‐effective opportunity to acquire a new U.S. magnetic anomaly data base. High Altitude Mapping Missions Inc. (HAMM) is currently planning an airborne mission to collect high‐resolution Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IFSAR) imagery at an altitude of about 15 km, with a flight‐line spacing of about 14 km over the conterminous United States and Alaska. Total and vector magnetic field data will also be collected with a “piggy‐back” magnetometer system as a secondary mission objective. Because HAMM would fund the main flight costs of the mission, the geomagnetic community would acquire invaluable magnetic data at a nominal cost. These unique data will provide new insights on fundamental tectonic and thermal processes and give a new view of the structural and lithologic framework of continental areas and offshore regions.
