  2. Earth's magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_field

    This model truncates at degree 12 (168 coefficients) with an approximate spatial resolution of 3,000 kilometers. It is the model used by the United States Department of Defense , the Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom) , the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and the ...

  3. Mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_descriptions...

    Two pairs of gauge transformed potentials (φ, A) and (φ′, A′) are called gauge equivalent, and the freedom to select any pair of potentials in its gauge equivalence class is called gauge freedom. Again by the Poincaré lemma (and under its assumptions), gauge freedom is the only source of indeterminacy, so the field formulation is ...

  4. History of geomagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_geomagnetism

    The earliest ideas on the nature of magnetism are attributed to Thales (c. 624 BC – c. 546 BC). [1] [2] In classical antiquity, little was known about the nature of magnetism. No sources mention the two poles of a magnet or its tendency to point northward. There were two main theories about the origins of magnetism.

  5. North magnetic pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_magnetic_pole

    By analogy with Earth's magnetic field, these are called the magnet's "north" and "south" poles. Before magnetism was well understood, the north-seeking pole of a magnet was defined to have the north designation, according to their use in early compasses. However, opposite poles attract, which means that as a physical magnet, the magnetic north ...

  6. Edmond Halley - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmond_Halley

    Halley thereafter received a temporary commission as a captain in the Royal Navy, recommissioned the Paramour on 24 August 1699 and sailed again in September 1699 to make extensive observations on the conditions of terrestrial magnetism. This task he accomplished in a second Atlantic voyage which lasted until 6 September 1700, and extended from ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Schmidt_(geophysicist)

    Adolf Friedrich Karl Schmidt (July 23, 1860 – October 17, 1944) was a German geophysicist who examined geomagnetism. He was involved in both experimental studies and in theoretical work on geomagnetism.

  9. K-index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-index

    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.
