Historical geomagnetic observations from Prague observatory (since 1839) and their contribution to geomagnetic research

Identification of possible intense historical geomagnetic storms using combined sunspot and auroral observations from East Asia

Comprehensive catalogues of ancient sunspot and auroral observations from East Asia are used to identify possible intense historical geomagnetic storms in the interval 210 BC–AD 1918. There are about 270 entries in the sunspot catalogue and about 1150 entries in the auroral catalogue. Special databases have been constructed in which the scientific information in these two catalogues is placed i...

Four centuries of geomagnetic secular variation from historical records

We present a new model of the magnetic ­ eld at the core{mantle boundary for the interval 1590{1990. The model, called gufm1, is based on a massive new compilation of historical observations of the magnetic ­ eld. The greater part of the new dataset originates from unpublished observations taken by mariners engaged in merchant and naval shipping. Considerable attention is given to both correcti...

Geomagnetic Fields, their Fluctuations and Health Effects

important parameters to locate new geomagnetic observatories to develop geomagnetic studies in iran

geomagnetic observatories are constructed to continuously record the earth’s geomagnetic field. the importance of such buildings has resulted in an increasing construction of geomagnetic observatories all over the world. although geomagnetic observatories are sometimes unknown to most people and even some scientists, these very important data centers have been measuring the geomagnetic field fo...
