Paleosecular variation and the average geomagnetic field at ±20° latitude

Palaeomagnetism of the Upper Miocene- Lower Pliocene lavas from the East Carpathians: contribution to the paleosecular variation of geomagnetic field.

Investigations of the paleosecular variation of the geomagnetic field on geological timescales depend on globally distributed data sets from lava flows. We report new paleomagnetic results from lava flows of the East Carpathian Mountains (23.6°E, 46.4°N) erupted between 4 and 6 Ma. The average virtual geomagnetic pole position (76 sites) includes the North Geographic Pole and the dispersion of ...

Pc5 geomagnetic field fluctuations at discrete frequencies at a low latitude station

A statistical analysis of the geomagnetic field fluctuations in the Pc5 frequency range (1–5 mHz) at a low latitude station (L = 1.6) provides further evidence for daytime power peaks at discrete frequencies. The power enhancements, which become more pronounced during high solar wind pressure conditions, may be interpreted in terms of ground signatures of magnetospheric cavity/waveguide compres...

On the Geomagnetic Lunar Daily Variation Field

The geomagnetic lunax daily variation field, L, was studied using all available results of lunar analysis of geomagnetic data from a total of 37 stations. Equivalent external (overhead) and internal (induced within the earth) electric current systems responsible for L variations with respect to dip latitude were estimated by the method of spherical harmonic analysis for each season. The externa...

Mid-latitude Vertical Transmission of Geomagnetic Micropulsations through the Ionosphere

Geomagnetic field behavior during the Iceland Basin and Laschamp geomagnetic excursions: A simple transitional field geometry?

[1] We present four new records of the Iceland Basin Excursion (IBE) and five new records of the Laschamp Excursion (LE) obtained from rapidly deposited marine sediments in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Nordic Seas, the Gulf of Mexico, the South China Sea, and the southern Indian Ocean. Marked minima in relative paleointensity correspond with the paleomagnetic directional changes associated wit...
