“…Although the smallest fields which these devices can measure is limited to a few microTestla's (unlike SQUID's, Superconducting QUantum Interference Devices, which can venture down to nano-and pico-Tesla), their dynamic range is sufficient for seismic accelerometry. In addition, they offer remarkable sensitivity, accuracy and linearity [14,15,16] within this range and have superior temperature tolerance [14,15,17]. In addition, unlike SQUIDs, these sensors do not need cryogenic conditions for operation, factors which are of great significance in the field operation of seismic monitoring units in harsh conditions.…”
