Are you actually asking for magnetic field measurements? A "gauss meter" 
tends to have a fairly low frequency cutoff.. measuring mostly DC or 
audio frequency fields at most.

Or are you looking at the RF fields?

And then, are you looking for the peak or rms fields, and over what 
bandwidth?

There is a strong component at the resonant frequency, with "sidebands" 
at harmonics of the break rate, and, harmonics of the basic waveform, too

Then, there is a very strong component at higher frequencies (>10 MHz) 
from the actual spark discharges from the secondary topload.

Which are you interested in?
