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

Report on the Measurement Session During the XIVth IAGA Workshop at Changchun Magnetic Observatory

The Absolute Measurement Session during the XIVth IAGA Workshop on Geomagnetic Observatory Instruments, Data Acquisition and Processing was held at the Changchun Magnetic Observatory (CNH) September 14-17, 2010. Approximately 50 participants joined in this session. During the session, 27 DI-Flux magnetometers were used to make and compare measurements, and several total field comparison measurements were conducted to look for errors within 4 total field instruments. This session also included absolute measurement training with lectures and practical training, an introduction to INTERMAGNET, and the demonstration of Autodif MKII and DI3
