It is known that geophysical fields (geomagnetic, gravitational and electromagnetic) in the context of recorded or modeled data are a set of several coaxial vector components characterizing the change in the corresponding parameter in space and time. Currently practiced approaches to organizing the storage of such data are based, as a rule, on one of the data models. At the same time, joint storage of source metadata and geophysical data directly in many cases is associated with inefficient use of associated computing resources. This paper considers an approach focused on separate storage, but joint complex application of metadata and data of geophysical field recording tools, taking into account their multi-vector nature and tensor representation of the analyzed parameters. Using the example of the geomagnetic field, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is considered in the context of optimizing data storage, on the one hand, and increasing the computational speed of executing queries to them, on the other.
