Analysis of global geomagnetic variability
نویسنده
چکیده
The orthogonal field components from global INTERMAGNET magnetometer stations are studied via multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis to determine whether there are clear and consistent regional patterns in the behavior of the fluctuations. There are three distinct scaling regimes in the qth-order fluctuation function for each of the 24 stations studied covering Southwest North America, Northeast North America, Central Europe, Northern Europe, Australasia and Asia. There is a consistent break point at time scale around 23 h for all stations. The scaling exponents of the second-order fluctuation functions reflect the regional character of the stations, and can be used for station classification, and for possible regional models.

متن کاملDid Open Solar Magnetic Field Increase during the Last 100 Years: A Reanalysis of Geomagnetic Activity
Long-term geomagnetic activity presented by the aa index has been used to show that the heliospheric magnetic field has more than doubled during the last 100 years. However, serious concern has been raised on the long-term consistency of the aa index and on the centennial rise of the solar magnetic field. Here we reanalyze geomagnetic activity during the last 100 years by calculating the recent...
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...
متن کاملGap Filling of Solar Wind Data by Singular 1 Spectrum Analysis
Observational data sets in space physics often contain instrumental and 3 sampling errors, as well as large gaps. This is both an obstacle and an in-4 centive for research, since continuous data sets are typically needed for model 5 formulation and validation. For example, the latest global empirical mod-6 els of Earth's magnetic field are crucial for many space weather applications, 7 and requ...
