In the long-term observation of geomagnetic field, the levelness of coil vector magnetometer will affect the measurement of magnetic direction. Therefore, we propose an electrical detection method of instrument non-levelness, which realizes the quantitative calculation of non-levelness by measuring the maximum and minimum values of the resultant magnetic field during detection. Then, a horizontal error model of coil vector magnetometer is constructed, and the mapping from instrument non-levelness to declination measurement error can be realized by vector operation. The results show that when the non-levelness of the instrument is less than 10", the measurement of magnetic declination variation deviates from the real value by 3.4%; When the non-levelness of the instrument is less than 20", the measurement of magnetic declination variation deviates from the real value by 13.5%.

Overhauser magnetometer reaches an ultra-high accuracy benefit from the outputted frequency of free induction decay transversal signal is proportional to the magnetization on measuring the real scalar geomagnetic field. Nevertheless, the magnitude of the accuracy is an important factor that severely affects the validity of geomagnetic field data. Since the real value of the geomagnetic field is unknown, we propose a measurement quality estimation method through analyzing the envelope of the free induction decay transversal signal from the Overhauser magnetometer. The estimation model includes the SNR and the decay slope characteristics of the signal is indicated in an two-digit number changes from 00~99. The results demonstrated that the proposed estimation method can effective performance the reliability of magnetometer measurement data in our experiments.
