This digital publication, GPR 2010-1, contains data produced from airborne geophysical surveys conducted in 2009 for the Moran survey area in the south-central Melozitna mining district, Melozitna and Tanana quadrangles, central Alaska. Aeromagnetic, electromagnetic (EM), and radiometric data were acquired by helicopter for about 653 sq miles. Fugro Airborne Survey's frequency-domain DIGHEM V system was used for the EM data. GPR 2010-1 includes (1) raw and processed linedata; (2) gridded, Google Earth, and Geotiff formats of the calculated linedata; (3) maps of the data; and (4) vector files of data contours and flight lines.
The survey was part of the Alaska Airborne Geophysical/Geological Mineral Inventory project funded by the Alaska State Legislature and managed by State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS). The project seeks to catalyze private-sector mineral development investment. The project delineates mineral zones on Alaska state lands that: 1) have major economic value; 2) can be developed in the short term to provide high quality jobs for Alaska; and 3) will provide economic diversification to help offset the loss of Prudhoe Bay oil revenue.
The airborne data were acquired and processed under contract between the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS), and Stevens Exploration Management Corp. Fugro Airborne Surveys, the subcontractor, acquired and processed the data in 2009. A future publication will include the technical project report, interpretation map, and EM anomalies, as well as other files.
File 'gpr2010-001_readme.PDF' contains location figures, a table indicating which formats are available for each data type and associated map numbers, and much general information. File 'gpr2010-001_readme.PDF' also contains more complete information than this metadata for the supplemental information and completeness of data. Some detailed information about the data is given in the 'Entity_and_Attribute_Information' section of this metadata file. 'Moran-linedata.txt' gives information on the linedata in an easy-to-read format. All data are provided in NAD27, UTM zone 5N, except for Google Earth KMZ files, which are in Geographic Coordinate System (Simple Cylindrical projection) with a WGS84 datum. Besides NAD27, UTM zone 5N x and y coordinates, the linedata files also include latitude and longitude (Geographic Coordinate System with a WGS84 datum).
This publication, GPR2010-1, contains the following data types or files: LINEDATA (Geosoft binary GDB and Geosoft ASCII XYZ format), GRIDS, GEOTIFFS, GOOGLE EARTH FILES, VECTORS, and MAPS (PDF and HPGL/2 formats).

Survey contracts specified the conditions and specifications under which these data were collected. Altimeter, heading, lag, and frequent EM calibrations were done. More information will be available in the project report to be published in the future.
Data for this survey were collected by a single subcontractor (Fugro Airborne Surveys) who was responsible for collecting and processing the data. All the data were collected with the same instruments (magnetometers, electromagnetic bird and sensors, gamma ray spectrometer, altimeters, and navigational system).
The linedata were distributed into two linedata files for ease of download. 'Moran_EM' contains magnetic and electromagnetic data; 'Moran_RAD' contains radiometric data. A maximum of 1,485,841 records (sampling points) were recorded for the magnetic and electromagnetic data, all of which were sampled at 0.1 second intervals. Most of the radiometric data were sampled every 1.0 seconds and hence have a maximum number of data points of 148,586. Few values are missing from the databases. The file 'gpr2010-001_readme.PDF' contains detailed information about how many dummy variables are present for each channel in the databases. A short summary is given here.
Missing mag values occur in three different places in the survey area; 2 near the end of a border line or end of an overlapping tie line, and the third gap (Line 11110) was due to despiking. The magnetic gap on Line 11110 occurred for lagged magnetic data between fiducial marks (FIDs) 6862.7 and 6868.0. The length of the gap is about 150 m long for the magnetic values, and is larger than the footprint of the system; hence the magnetic data was not splined. Missing values in the apparent resistivity (res56k, res7200, and res900) and associated calculated 'depth' (dep56k, dep7200, and dep900) are due to calculations being meaningless, generally caused by increase in altitude. Only 2 values were missing from a few of the radiometric channels. A little over 9,000 are missing from the radiometric ratios because these are not calculated where the data values are too small for the ratios to be meaningful.
The helicopter position was derived every 0.5 seconds using post-flight differential positioning to an accuracy of better than 1 m.
The radar altimeter ('ALTRAD') had a stated resolution of 0.3 meter, and an accuracy better than 10% of the flying height, i.e. better or equal to 4 meters for this survey. The ALTRAD value may be unreliable in areas of heavy tree cover, where the altimeter reflects the distance to the tree canopy rather than the ground.

The downloaded section grid file, built from original protraction diagram data, was used as a starting point for the section grid digital file included in GPR2010-1 and used on the maps without topography and is provided in digital format in this publication. Minor formatting modifications were made to the file. The publication date given above reflects the current metadata file for the Alaska PLSS Section Grid.
The airborne geophysical data were acquired with a DIGHEM(V) Electromagnetic (EM) system, Radiation Solutions RS-500 gamma-ray spectrometer, and a Fugro D1344 cesium magnetometer with a Scintrex CS3 cesium censor between August 11th to August 29th, 2009. The EM and magnetic sensors were flown at a height of 100 feet. The gamma-ray spectrometer was flown at a height of 200 feet. In addition, the survey recorded data from radar and laser altimeters, GPS navigation system, 50/60 Hz monitors, and video camera.
>
Flights were performed with an AS350B-3 Squirrel helicopter at a mean terrain clearance of 200 feet along N-S (0 degrees) survey flight lines with one-quarter mile line spacing. Tie lines were flown perpendicular to the flight lines at intervals of approximately 3 miles.
>
A Novatel OEM4-G2L Global Positioning System was used for navigation and flight path recovery. The helicopter position was derived every 0.5 seconds (2 Hz); the ground GPS base station data were collected at 0.1 second (10 Hz) intervals. The use of the differentially-corrected base station data results in a positional accuracy of better than one meter. The positional xy data are interpolated from 2 Hz to 10 Hz. Flight path positions were projected onto the Clarke 1866 (UTM zone 5) spheroid, 1927 North American datum using a central meridian (CM) of 153 degrees, a north constant of 0, and an east constant of 500,000.
2009
The total magnetic field data were acquired with a sampling interval of 0.1 seconds, and were (1) corrected for measured system lag (EM linedata field 'mag_lag'), (2) corrected for diurnal variations by subtraction of the digitally recorded base station magnetic data (EM linedata field 'mag_diu'), (3) adjusted for regional variations using date of flight and altimeter-adjusted IGRF, (4) leveled to the tie line data resulting in the final residual magnetic intensity (EM linedata field 'mag_rmi'), (5) increased by a constant to provide an IGRF-corrected total magnetic field column (EM linedata field 'magigrf') and (6) interpolated onto a regular 80-m grid using a modified Akima (1970) technique.
>
The total magnetic field data were subjected to three processing algorithms for producing derivative grids. The vertical gradient algorithm enhances the response of magnetic bodies in the upper 500 m and attenuates the response of deeper bodies. The resulting (calculated) vertical gradient grid ('Moran-cvg') provides better definition and resolution of near-surface magnetic units. It also identifies weak magnetic features that may not be evident in the total field data.
>
Analytic signal is the total amplitude of all directions of magnetic gradient calculated from the sum of the squares of the three orthogonal gradients. Mapped highs in the calculated analytic signal of the magnetic parameter locate the anomalous source body edges and corners (e.g., contacts, fault/shear zones, basement fault block boundaries or lithologic contacts, etc.). Analytic signal maxima are located directly over faults and contacts, regardless of structural dip, and independently of the direction of the induced and/or remanent body magnetizations.
>
The calculated magnetic tilt derivative is the angle between the horizontal gradient and the total vertical gradient, which is useful for identifying the depth and type of magnetic source. The tilt angle is positive over the source, crosses through zero at, or near, the edge of a vertical sided source, and is negative outside the source zone. It responds equally well to shallow and deep sources and is able to resolve deeper sources that may be masked by larger responses caused by shallower sources.
>
All magnetic grids were then resampled from the 80-m cell size down to a 25-m cell size using a modified Akima (1970) technique to produce the maps and final grids contained in this publication.

The DIGHEM V EM system measured inphase and quadrature components at five frequencies. Two vertical coaxial-coil pairs operated at 1070 (1000) and 5503 (5500) Hz while three horizontal coplanar-coil pairs operated at 925 (900), 7094 (7200), and 55,640 (56,000) Hz. EM data were sampled at 0.1 second intervals. The EM system responds to bedrock conductors, conductive overburden, and cultural sources. The EM inphase and quadrature data were drift corrected using base level data collected at high altitude (areas of no signal). Along-line filters are applied to the data to remove spheric spikes. The data were inspected for variations in phase, and a phase correction was applied to the data if necessary. Apparent resistivities were then calculated from the inphase and quadrature data for all coplanar frequencies based on a pseudo-layer half-space model. Manual leveling of the inphase and quadrature of each coil pair, based on the resistivity data and comparisons to the data from the other frequencies, was performed. Automated micro-leveling is carried out in areas of low signal. The EM data were interpolated onto a regular 80-m grid using a modified Akima (1970) technique. The resulting grids were subjected to a 3x3 Hanning filter and resampled to a 25-m cell size before contouring and map production.

The gamma-ray spectrometry data were recorded at a 1.0 second sample rate using a Radiation Solutions RS-500 gamma-ray spectrometer. It was configured with 16.8L (1024 cubic inches) of main (downward) NaI crystal detector, and 4.2L (256 cubic inches) of upward looking (radon) detector. After application of Noise Adjusted Singular Value Decomposition to the spectra, counts from the main detector were recorded in five windows corresponding to thorium (2410-2810 keV), uranium (1660-1860 keV), potassium (1370-1570 keV), total radioactivity (400-2815 keV) and cosmic radiation (3000->6000 keV). Counts from the radon detector were recorded in the radon window (1660-1860 keV). The radon detection system was calibrated following methods outlined in IAEA Report 1363. After removal of the background, the data were corrected for spectral interferences, changes in temperature, pressure, and departures from the planned survey elevation of 200 feet. The data were then converted to standard concentration units which were interpolated to a 100 m grid using a minimum curvature technique. All grids were then resampled from the 100 m cell size down to a 25 m cell size to produce the maps and final grids contained in this publication.

The digital elevation/terrain model was produced from the differentially corrected GPS-Z data (EM linedata field 'GPSZ') and the laser altimeter data (EM linedata field 'ALTBIRD') measured in the bird. Both the GPSZ and ALTBIRD data were then checked for spikes, which were removed manually. The ALTBIRD data were despiked and then filtered using a 13 median filter, followed by a 13 Hanning filter. The corrected altimeter was then subtracted from the GPSZ data to produce profiles of the height above mean sea level along the survey lines. The data were manually leveled to remove any errors between lines. After all leveling, the data were DC shifted to match the local maps, in this case, NAD27. The 80-m DEM grid was then resampled to a 25-m cell size to produce the DEM grid contained in this publication.

DGGS downloaded the Alaska PLSS Section Grid shapefile in fall 2009 and cut the file to fit the map sheets for this publication using MapInfo Professional. Fugro Airborne Surveys modified the formatting of the file using AutoCad, changing township and range line widths and colors, and added township and range labels. The modified file was then used as overlays on maps without topography. An additional format (MapInfo Professional tab file) of the township and range labels is provided because the text in the original dxf file is offset to the left when imported into most GIS programs.

The linedata were divided into two separate database files for easier downloading. Both files, 'Moran_EM' and 'Moran_RAD', contain the same line numbers, fids, and locational data so that the files can be easily merged if wanted by the user. 'Moran_EM' contains magnetic and electromagnetic data, and 'Moran_RAD', the radiometric data. Both of these files are provided in Geosoft binary format (GRD) and in Geosoft ASCII XYZ format (XYZ). A text file ('Moran_Linedata.txt') contains some of the linedata information included in this metadata document, but in normal ASCII text format. Moran_Linedata.txt is included with each downloadable zip file.
Each linedata file contains raw and processed linedata, and related calculated fields. Missing data are represented with the dummy variable '*'. Each of the 173 flight lines or partial flight lines (e.g. Line 10371, referred to as 'LINE' attribute) is associated with a 'DATE' (e.g. 2009/08/18), a 'FLIGHT (number)' (e.g. 29009), and a particular multi-record set of data. Each record represents data acquisition from one spatial location in the flight line. A total of 1,485,841 records are present in each data file.

Moran_EM.GDB and Moran_EM.XYZ
The file 'Moran_EM' contains raw and processed linedata and related calculated fields for locational, magnetic, and electromagnetic data. The file is provided in Geosoft binary grid (GRD) and Geosoft ASCII XYZ (XYZ) formats. Except for the 'LINE' attribute, all attributes, including 'DATE' and 'FLIGHT', are represented by one of the 49 data columns on each record. The 'LINE' and 'FLIGHT' attributes are discussed further in the attribute 'ID Cell'.
L.E. Burns & Fugro Airborne Surveys
ID_CELL
The 'ID CELL' occurs in the GDB file only; the contents of the 'ID CELL' are also present in the XYZ file. In the 'ID CELL' for this project, the 'LINE' attribute is followed by a colon followed by the 'FLIGHT' attribute, e.g. 'L10010:29010' and 'T19010:29017'. More than one line is typically flown on a particular date and flight; more than one flight may be flown on a particular date. Each ID-cell value will have an associated spreadsheet view consisting of a column for each of the 49 attributes. In the XYZ file, the 'LINE' and 'FLIGHT' attributes and the 'DATE' are present as header lines, one attribute per line, before each set of associated data, e.g.
> //Flight 29010
> //Date 2009/08/12
> Line 10010 (or 'Tie 10950', etc.)
> Followed by all records for points sampled along Line 10010.
> (Pattern is repeated for each line number).
The 'ID CELL' content, particularly combined with the definitions below for this particular survey, provides information about the flight line layout.

RAD LINEDATA
Moran_RAD.GDB and Moran_RAD.XYZ
The file 'Moran_RAD' contains raw and processed linedata and related calculated fields for locational and radiometric data. The linedata file is provided in Geosoft binary grid (GRD) and Geosoft ASCII XYZ (XYZ) formats. Except for the 'LINE' attribute, all attributes, including 'DATE' and 'FLIGHT', are represented by one of the 31 data columns on each record. The 'LINE' and 'FLIGHT' attributes are discussed further in the attribute 'ID Cell'.
L.E. Burns & Fugro Airborne Surveys
ID_CELL
The 'ID CELL' occurs in the GDB file only; the contents of the 'ID CELL' are also present in the XYZ file. In the 'ID CELL' for this project, the 'LINE' attribute is followed by a colon followed by the 'FLIGHT' attribute, e.g. 'L10010:29010' and 'T19010:29017'. More than one line is typically flown on a particular date and flight; more than one flight may be flown on a particular date. Each ID-cell value will have an associated spreadsheet view consisting of a column for each of the 31 attributes (30 in the XYZ file). In the XYZ file, the 'LINE' and 'FLIGHT' attributes and the 'DATE' are present as header lines, one attribute per line, before each set of associated data, e.g.
> //Flight 29010
> //Date 2009/08/12
> Line 10010 (or 'Tie 10950', etc.)
> Followed by all records for points sampled along Line 10010.
> (Pattern is repeated for each line number).
The 'ID CELL' content, particularly combined with the definitions below for this particular survey, provides information about the flight line layout.
L.E. Burns & Fugro Airborne Surveys
Definitions of the 'LINE' and 'FLIGHT' attributes are listed below.
> LINE TYPES and SYMBOLS:
> Traverse lines – oriented nominally N-S (0 degrees);
> Tie lines - oriented nominally E-W (90 degrees); and
> Border lines - present inside and parallel the survey
> tract border where traverse or tie lines
> are not parallel to the border.
> Traverse lines – 'L' (GDB file); 'LINE' (XYZ file).
> Tie and border lines - 'T' (GDB file); 'TIE' (XYZ file).
> LINE NUMBERS
> In general, the traverse lines increase by 10 from west to
> east; the tie lines increase by 10 from north to south; and
> the border lines increase by 10 starting for this project
> in the south-central edge of the survey area and continuing in
> a clockwise direction until reaching the southeastern part.
>
> When more than one uninterrupted flight segment was needed
> to complete a planned flight line, the fifth digit is
> increased by '1' for each new flight version.
> MAIN LINE NUMBERS:
> Lowest Traverse Lines: L10010 (west)
> Highest Traverse Lines: L11520 (east)
> Lowest Tie Lines: T19010 (north)
> Highest Tie Lines: T19080 (south)
> Lowest Border Lines: T19090 (south-central, progressing
> in clockwise direction)
> Highest Border Lines: T19130 (southeast)
>------------------------------------------------------------
> 'FLIGHT' DESIGNATORS
> The 5 digit flight designator consists of a two digit Fugro
> Dighem V system number (29 for this project) and a three
> digit flight identification number, e.g. '008'.

FLIGHT
First two digits are Fugro's EM bird identification number for the bird used for this job, i.e., '29'. The last three digits represent the flight numbers associated with this project. A flight number is the number of the helicopter flight from home base to home base associated with this project. The flights are numbered from the beginning of the project to the end. Only those flight numbers containing acquisition of final data measurements are included in the database.

DTM
Digital terrain/elevation model (NAD27 UTM Zone 5N); data in m. Elevation calculation used for the digital elevation model is directly dependent on the accuracy of the two input parameters, ALTBIRD and GPSZ. The ALTBIRD value may be unreliable in areas of heavy tree cover, where the altimeter reflects the distance to the tree canopy rather than the ground. Although post-processing of GPS data will yield X and Y accuracies on the order of 1 meter, the accuracy of the Z value (GPSZ) is usually much less, sometimes in the +/-20 meter range.

GRIDS
GPR2010-1GridsGRD.zip and GPR2010-1ERS.zip
The zip files contain the nineteen grids and supporting files for this publication in either Geosoft binary float (GRD) format or ER Mapper (ERS) format. Each grid is in NAD27 datum, UTM Zone 5N, and has a 25m cell size with x and y in meters. Grid files are listed below as attributes.
>
Two supporting files, a Geosoft projection file (GI) and a Geosoft v7-produced metadata file (XML), are included for each Geosoft grid file. The Geosoft grid is viewable (or importable into other software) without using these supported files. When using Geosoft, the GI file automatically sets the projection of the grid if the GI file is placed in the same directory as the grid file (GRD). Setting the projection can also be done manually in Geosoft without the GI file.
>
Each ER Mapper grid consists of two files, a header (projection) file (.ERS) and a data file (no extension). Both ER Mapper files are necessary to view a grid or to convert it to another software format.

KMZ file
Data contours produced from the grids are provided as vector files for thirteen of the grids. These vector files are shown on the maps without topography. Additional vector files included are the flight path and Alaska Section Grid for the map area. These fifteen vector files are distributed into three zip files ('GPR2010-1Vectors1of3_Mag', 'GPR2010-1Vectors2of3_ResEtAl', and 'GPR2010-1Vectors3of3_Rad') for smaller downloads. Each of these zip files has a separate 'Detailed_Entity' section.
All vector files are provided in Autocad DXF format, v2000, except for the flight path. All of the alphanumeric–appearing characters in the DXF files are alphanumeric characters, which are shifted when imported into any version of MapInfo Professional, Geosoft, and presumably other GIS programs. To provide alphanumeric characters in appropriate places for the critical flight path and Range labels in GIS programs besides Autocad, we are providing the flight path file (name starts with 'Moran_fp_') as an ESRI shape (SHP) file and the text part of the Alaska Section Grid file ('Moran_SecGrid.dxf') as a MapInfo Professional table (TAB) file. The text part of the section grid DXF file is also included. The alphanumeric numbers for the data contours for all the maps are shifted about 0.05 miles [80 m; 0.05 inches at map scale (1:63,360-scale)] to the right and up from where they should be when looked at with the number right-side-up. The files are understandable upon examination, and were not corrected.

MAGNETIC VECTORS
GPR2010-1Vectors1of3_Mag.zip
Zip file contains contours for three (magigrf, analytic signal, and tilt derivative) of the four magnetic or derivative magnetic grids. Contours for the fourth type of magnetic grid, the first vertical derivative, were not produced. All files in this zip file, '…1 of 3…', are in Autocad DXF, v. 2000 format. The alphanumeric numbers for the contours are shifted about 0.05 inches at map scale to the right and up, and should be viewed carefully.

RESISTIVITY ET AL VECTORS
GPR2010-1Vectors2of3_ResEtAl.zip
Zip file contains vectors of data contours in Autocad DXF format for three resistivity grids (56,000 Hz, 7200 Hz, and 900 Hz). The alphanumeric numbers for the data contours are shifted about 0.05 inches at map scale to the right and up, and should be viewed carefully. The other files in this zipped file are for the flight path ('Moran_fp_Z' where Z = digits) or the Alaska (township/range) Section Grid ('Moran_SecGrid_X, where X = letters). When importing either of these files from DXF v 2000 to MapInfo Professional, Geosoft, and presumably other programs, the text was shifted to the left. This problem was solved in a different way for each file. The DXF file Moran_SecGrid contains four layers needed to complete an overlay of the township-range grid for the map areas. The GRIDTEXT layer in that DXF file shifts the text to the left, and though included here as part of the dxf, is also included as a corrected MapInfo Professional TAB file. The flight path file was imported by Fugro Airborne Surveys into MapInfo Professional and each individual layer was painstakingly moved. The flight path was then exported into ESRI SHAPE file format, and now consists of 4 shape files and 16 supporting files, all 20 of which start with 'Moran_FP_'. The flight path is not included on any map in this publication, but may be used as an overlay or printed by itself.

Maps are provided in PDF and HPGL/2 format, and are distributed into five zip files for shorter downloads. Map type (PDF vs HPGL2) and the range of included maps numbers are stated in each zip file name. The HPGL/2 files have brighter and more gradational colors and sharper topography than the Adobe Acrobat files. See 'Technical_Prerequisites' section for more information on printing HPGL/2 maps.
Two map sheets, labeled 'A' and 'B', are needed to cover the survey area at a scale of 1:63,360 (inch-to-a-mile). Twenty-eight different maps (56 map sheets) are included in this publication. Bounding coordinates for the sheets are given immediately below.
** 'A' maps – Part of Melozitna Quadrangle ******
> West, -154.00
> East, -153.25
> North, 65.50
> South, 65.13
** 'B' maps - Parts of Melozitna and Tanana quadrangles *******
> West, --153.25
> East, -152.50
> North, 65.50
> South, 65.13
Authors and titles of the maps are like the example given below:
Burns, L.E., Fugro Airborne Surveys Corp., and Stevens Exploration Management Corp., 2010, Total magnetic field of the Moran Survey Area, south-central Melozitna mining district, central Alaska, parts of Melozitna and Tanana quadrangles: Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Geophysical Report 2010-1-1A, 1 sheet, scale 1:63,360.
Most geophysical images are placed on two maps; one with topography and one with data contours and no topography. A table clearly showing information about the maps (numbers, type of image, and whether topography or data contours are included) is located in 'gpr2010_001_readme.pdf' included with this publication.
