Aeromagnetic map at 1:1.000.000

The aeromagnetic map of Italy at 1:1,000,000 scale, published by SGN in partnership with AGIP in 1994, represented a step forward in the synthesis process of the data acquired during several aeromagnetic surveys carried out by AGIP on the whole Italian territory and surrounding seas, in the years 1971-1980, for the purpose of oil exploration. The data, obtained with cesium vapor magnetometers at different flight altitudes because of the different elevations characteristics of the Italian territory, have been extended only to two dimensions, 13,300 ft. on Alps and 8,500 ft. elsewhere and connected between them to get the contouring (equidistance 5 nT) of the anomalies of the residual magnetic field compared to the IGRF 1976. The isoanomale of the c.m.r., such as the Bouguer isoanomale expressed by the Gravimetric map at the same scale, have plotted with two colors and superimposed to a simplified geological base represented by the "Mining Map of Italy" at 1:1,000,000 scale (Geological Survey of Italy, Rome, 1973).
