Description

The desired target of an airborne gamma-ray spectrometric survey will determine the dimensions (wavelengths) of anomalies which must be recognizable in the resulting radiometric profiles. An optimum relationship exists between aircraft velocity, spectrometer sampling time, altitude, and upper limit of anomaly wavelength resolution. This relationship is discussed, along with comparisons of measured ground and airborne gamma-ray spectrometric data. Theoretical airborne radiometric profiles based on the ground data in two test areas are calculated and compared to measured airborne data from these areas
