Abstract
A SELF-OSCILLATING rubidium vapour magnetometer, in which measurements of the total field magnitude are obtained by counting the frequency of self-oscillation in the radio-frequency range, has been developed for rocket and satellite experiments. Field trials have recently demonstrated that this lype of rubidium magnetometercan be used in certain observatory applications and other ground investigations of the geomagnetic field.
