The airborne magnetometer was developed during World War II as a submarine detector, and is now a standard tool of modern geophysics. Since its development, the airborne magnetometer has helped locate valuable ore deposits, it has aided to decipher geological structures, and it has been used to investigate the possible future activity of volcanoes. Airborne magnetic surveys are not essentially different from land magnetic surveys: aeromagnetic data are obtained and compiled along a continuous line, whereas ground magnetic surveys are made at separate points.
