On the Geomagnetic Lunar Daily Variation Field
نویسنده
چکیده
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 external and internal current systems obtained for a mean lunation during the average solar activity period show more plausible current patterns with reasonable amount of total current intensities than any previously obtained.

Longitudinal dependence of the daily geomagnetic variation during quiet time
[1] The daily variation of the geomagnetic field during quiet time at equinox features a longitudinal dependence, which is observed in the dip-latitude/longitude frame. Two explanations are considered: (1) the longitudinal changes of the geomagnetic latitude at constant dip-latitude and (2) the longitudinal variations of the main field, which modulates the ionospheric dynamo e.m.f. and determin...

متن کاملError model of geomagnetic-field measurement and extended Kalman-filter based compensation method
The real-time accurate measurement of the geomagnetic-field is the foundation to achieving high-precision geomagnetic navigation. The existing geomagnetic-field measurement models are essentially simplified models that cannot accurately describe the sources of measurement error. This paper, on the basis of systematically analyzing the source of geomagnetic-field measurement error, built a compl...
متن کاملDaily variations of geomagnetic HD and Z - field at equatorial latitudes
With the establishment of the new geomagnetic field observations in the Ocean Hemisphere Network Project (OHP) in Japan, minutes values of geomagnetic components, H D and Z have been recorded. The hourly mean values were used to study the variations in these three components at these new equatorial electrojet regions. The results of the analysis carried out revealed that the amplitude of dH has...
متن کاملSemiannual Variation of Geomagnetic Activity
The semiannual variation in geomagnetic activity is well established in geomagnetic data Its explanation has remained elusive, however. We propose, simply, that it is caused by a semiannual variation in the effective southward component of the interplanetary field. The southward field arises because the interplanetary field is ordered in the solar equatorial coordinate system, whereas the inter...
