About the MACCS Program
These web pages contain magnetometer data from the Magnetometer Array for Cusp and Cleft Studies (MACCS), an array of magnetometers in Arctic Canada started by Boston University and Augsburg College with assistance from the University of Alberta and the Geological Survey of Canada, and supported by the National Science Foundation's Magnetospheric Physics Program. The principal investigators of the MACCS program were Dr. Mark Engebretson [email protected] and Dr. W. J. Hughes [email protected]. In 2008 all operations moved to Augsburg College.
Further details of the MACCS array can be found in W. J. Hughes and M. J. Engebretson, MACCS: Magnetometer Array for Cusp and Cleft Studies, in Satellite-Ground Based Coordination Sourcebook, (eds. M. Lockwood, M.N. Wild H. J. Opgenoorth), ESA-SP-1198, pp. 119-130, 1997
Plots created from half-second resolution may be obtained on our graph request page. Data in the IAGA 2002 format may be obtained on our data request page. Data may also be obtained at higher resolution by email request. All data provided have been subjected to routine quality checks, but these may not catch all errors. Persons wishing to use MACCS data in publications or presentations should contact one of the MACCS investigators to verify the quality of these data.
