Micro-pulsations
Erratic, short-term blips or spikes in the magnetic field are called micro-
pulsations. These can range in intensity from a few through to tens or even
hundreds of nanoTeslas in intensity, as can be seen in the next figure
(Figure B-9). These can present a problem when you are surveying in that
they may appear similar to anomalies caused by buried objects.
