World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map (WDMAM)
Magnetic anomaly map of Africa, derived from the World Digital Magnetic Anomaly map (WDMAM). Note that the blurry areas are interpolated due to source not containing data points.
Values are expressed in nT.
The WDMAM is an international scientific project under the auspices of IAGA (International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy) and CGMW (Commission for the Geological Map of the World), aiming to compile and make available magnetic anomalies caused by the Earth lithosphere, on continental and oceanic areas, in a comprehensive way, all over the World. This layer is part of the Geothermal Atlas for Africa developed within the LEAP-RE project"
