2. Magnetometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetometer

   The Earth's magnetic field can vary from 20,000 to 80,000 nT depending on location, fluctuations in the Earth's magnetic field are on the order of 100 nT, and magnetic field variations due to magnetic anomalies can be in the picotesla (pT) range. [3] Gaussmeters and teslameters are magnetometers that measure in units of gauss or tesla ...

3. Orders of magnitude (magnetic field) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude...

   Magnetic induction B (also known as magnetic flux density) has the SI unit tesla [T or Wb/m 2]. [1] One tesla is equal to 10 4 gauss. Magnetic field drops off as the inverse cube of the distance (⁠ 1 / distance 3 ⁠) from a dipole source. Energy required to produce laboratory magnetic fields increases with the square of magnetic field. [2]

4. Earth's magnetic field - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_field

   The Earth's magnetic field strength was measured by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1832 [69] and has been repeatedly measured since then, showing a relative decay of about 10% over the last 150 years. [70] The Magsat satellite and later satellites have used 3-axis vector magnetometers to probe the 3-D structure of the Earth's magnetic field.

5. Gravimetry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravimetry

   Gravimetry is the measurement of the strength of a gravitational field. Gravimetry may be used when either the magnitude of a gravitational field or the properties of matter responsible for its creation are of interest. The study of gravity changes belongs to geodynamics.

6. Gauss (unit) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_(unit)

   The gauss is the unit of magnetic flux density B in the system of Gaussian units and is equal to Mx/cm 2 or g/Bi/s 2, while the oersted is the unit of H-field. One tesla (T) corresponds to 10 4 gauss, and one ampere (A) per metre corresponds to 4π × 10 −3 oersted .

7. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

   The lines can be constructed by measuring the strength and direction of the magnetic field at a large number of points (or at every point in space). Then, mark each location with an arrow (called a vector) pointing in the direction of the local magnetic field with its magnitude proportional to the strength of the magnetic field. Connecting ...

8. Gravitoelectromagnetism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitoelectromagnetism

   From this calculation it follows that the strength of the Earth's equatorial gravitomagnetic field is about 1.012 × 10 −14 Hz. [18] Such a field is extremely weak and requires extremely sensitive measurements to be detected. One experiment to measure such field was the Gravity Probe B mission.

9. International Geomagnetic Reference Field - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Geomagnetic...

   The International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) is a standard mathematical description of the large-scale structure of the Earth's main magnetic field and its secular variation. It was created by fitting parameters of a mathematical model of the magnetic field to measured magnetic field data from surveys, observatories and satellites ...
