An airborne geophysical survey of the whole of Northern Ireland was flown by the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland in 2005 and 2006 as part of the Tellus project funded by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment of Northern Ireland and by the Rural Development Programme through the Northern Ireland Programme for Building Sustainable Prosperity. Magnetic, electromagnetic and radiometric data were acquired at 200 m line spacing and a flying height of 56 m (240 m over built-up areas) using the Joint Airborne Capability of the British Geological Survey and the Geological Survey of Finland. In total, 82,000 line-km of data were acquired.
This dataset presents the results of the Tellus Radiometric survey as xyz data.

FID: numerical sum of Julian day and seconds past previous midnight
Flight: Flight number
Day: Day number (Julian)
Date: Date (YYYYMMDD)
Time: Time (HHMMSS.SS)
DIR: Flight direction (degrees clockwise)
RALT: Radar altitude (m)
BALT: Barometric altitude (m)
TOUT: External temperature (degrees C)
GPS_H: GPS altitude (m) above geoid (WGS84)
DTM: Digital Terrain Model (m)
D_TOT_CPS: Total Counts (Ur units) meaning sum of all counts from 400 to 3000 keV
D_TOT_NGY: Total counts (nGy/h = nanoGray per hour) expressed as air absorbed dose rate
D_KAL: Potassium (%K)
D_URA: Uranium (ppm, eU)
D_THO: Thorium (ppm, eTh)
