Geomagnetism : review 2010

The Geomagnetism team measures, records, models and interprets variations in the Earth’s natural magnetic fields, across the world and over time. Our data and expertise help to develop scientific understanding of the evolution of the solid Earth and it’s atmospheric, oceanic and space environments. We also provide geomagnetic products and services to industry and academics and we use our knowledge to inform and educate the public, government and the private sector

An investigation into techniques for isolating noise in observatory data

In this study, using one-minute definitive data published by a number of INTERMAGNET observatories, we apply a number of time- and frequency-domain techniques to characterise the global, natural geomagnetic signal and isolate the artificial noise at an individual observatory. With the aim of developing an analytical tool that can be used to identify observatory noise against the natural signal, we report on the suitability of these techniques to detect common observatory noise types
