Magnetic amplitude

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.
the angular distance of a heavenly body, when on the horizon, from the magnetic east or west point as indicated by the compass. The difference between the magnetic and the true or astronomical amplitude (see 3 above) is the "variation of the compass."

The magnetic background proved to be very subdued due to the thick sedimentary cover, the range of magnetic amplitude across the survey area being of only 30 nt.
Initial drill hole locations have been spotted on the basis of ground geophysical surveys which confirmed the airborne anomaly, yielding conductance estimates of up to 45 Siemens and magnetic amplitudes of up to 14,000 nanoTeslas (see attached map).
