The International Real-time Magnetic Observatory Network (INTERMAGNET) is a world-wide consortium of institutes operating ground-based magnetometers recording the absolute level of the Earth's time-varying magnetic field, [2] [3] [4] to an agreed set of standards.
A magnetograph is a magnetometer that continuously records data over time. This data is typically represented in magnetograms. [16] Magnetometers can also be classified as "AC" if they measure fields that vary relatively rapidly in time (>100 Hz), and "DC" if they measure fields that vary only slowly (quasi-static) or are static.
Magnetic Data Acquisition System (abbr. MAGDAS) is a system of 50 realtime magnetometers that are being deployed by Kyushu Sangyo University of Fukuoka, Japan, as part of Japan's leading contribution to International Heliophysical Year of the United Nations.
The official planetary K p-index is derived by calculating a weighted average of K-indices from a network of 13 geomagnetic observatories at mid-latitude locations.Since these observatories do not report their data in real-time, various operations centers around the globe estimate the index based on data available from their local network of observatories.
A vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM) (also referred to as a Foner magnetometer) is a scientific instrument that measures magnetic properties based on Faraday’s Law of Induction. Simon Foner at MIT Lincoln Laboratory invented VSM in 1955 and reported it in 1959. [ 1 ]
MAD rear boom on P-3C The SH-60B Seahawk helicopter carries a yellow and red towed MAD array known as a "MAD bird", seen on the aft fuselage. A magnetic anomaly detector (MAD) is an instrument used to detect minute variations in the Earth's magnetic field. [1]
It had a caesium vapor scalar magnetometer and a fluxgate vector magnetometer. [7] CHAMP , a German satellite, made precise gravity and magnetic measurements from 2001 to 2010. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] A Danish satellite, Ørsted , was launched in 1999 and is still in operation, while the Swarm mission of the European Space Agency involves a "constellation ...
A MEMS magnetic field sensor is a small-scale microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device for detecting and measuring magnetic fields (magnetometer). Many of these operate by detecting effects of the Lorentz force : a change in voltage or resonant frequency may be measured electronically, or a mechanical displacement may be measured optically.
