Harmonic quiet-day curves as magnetometer baselines for ionospheric current analyses

Solar quiet day ionospheric source current in the West African region

The Solar Quiet (Sq) day source current were calculated using the magnetic data obtained from a chain of 10 magnetotelluric stations installed in the African sector during the French participation in the International Equatorial Electrojet Year (IEEY) experiment in Africa. The components of geomagnetic field recorded at the stations from January-December in 1993 during the experiment were separ...

Morning quiet-time ionospheric current reversal at mid to high latitudes

The records of an array of magnetometers set up across the Australian mainland are examined. In addition to a well-defined current whorl corresponding to the ionospheric Sq current system, another system of eastward flowing currents is often found in the early morning. The system is most easily identified at observatories poleward of the focus of the Sq system, where a morning reversal from eas...

Design and Analyses of a MEMS Based Resonant Magnetometer

A novel design of a MEMS torsional resonant magnetometer based on Lorentz force is presented and fabricated. The magnetometer consists of a silicon resonator, torsional beam, excitation coil, capacitance plates and glass substrate. Working in a resonant condition, the sensor's vibration amplitude is converted into the sensing capacitance change, which reflects the outside magnetic flux-density....
