Estimation of Errors • Additional field strength for a given magnetometer noise about 0,005nT rms and a desired noise in the components of 0,01nT rms additional field strength of about 5000nT • Effect of tilting of the vertical axis of the bias coil for ±1’tilting, we got for X= ±13nT • Effect of tilting the azimuth angle between the additional Field and the magnetic meridian for ±1’tilting, we got for Y= ±5,5nT ΔX= ±3E-03

Conclusions • Cs-He magnetometer absolute accuracy 0.1 nT sum of noise at NGK < 5 pT rms @ 180 msec • Orthogonal coil system: suspended, turnable, LASER controlled • Realtime (GPS) LINUX-controlled system • Result: 1 sec mean values for all components • Reducing the number of manually absolute measurements to some / year • Thank you for your attention
