Polynomial Modelling of Southern African Secular Variation Observations Since 2005
The COMPASS (COmprehensive Magnetic Processes under the African Southern Sub-continent) program forms part of a collaboration project between Germany and South Africa, called Inkaba ye Africa, and aims to investigate the regional geomagnetic field in this area, particularly its evolutionary behaviour. Results obtained from field surveys conducted by the Hermanus Magnetic Observatory (HMO) and ...
متن کاملFour 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 The greater part of the new dataset originates from unpublished observations taken by mariners engaged in merchant and naval shipping.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...
متن کاملAn Investigation into the Use of Satellite Data to Develop a Geomagnetic Secular Variation Model over Southern Africa
There is a need to develop secular variation (SV) models using satellite data as the use of ground data is not always possible. Ground data has many limitations including limited data points and lack of data over ocean areas that are not easily accessible. Two regional geomagnetic field modelling techniques, namely polynomial surface modelling (PolyM) and Spherical Cap Harmonic Analysis (SCHA),...
متن کاملHigh-resolution record of geomagnetic secular variation from Late Pleistocene Lake Lisan sediments (paleo Dead Sea)
We measured geomagnetic secular variation in Lake Lisan sediments (paleo Dead Sea). More than 1500 oriented samples were collected from a 27.3-m section of alternating aragonite and detritus laminae in the Dead Sea basin ranging in age from 67 to 32 ka. The natural remanent magnetization (NRM) is carried by titanomagnetite in the detrital laminae whereas the aragonite is diamagnetic. The NRM is...
متن کاملDynamic responses of the Earth’s outer core to assimilation of observed geomagnetic secular variation
Assimilation of surface geomagnetic observations and geodynamo models has advanced very quickly in recent years. However, compared to advanced data assimilation systems in meteorology, geomagnetic data assimilation (GDAS) is still in an early stage. Among many challenges ranging from data to models is the disparity between the short observation records and the long time scales of the core dynam...
