  1. Advances in the global geomagnetic observatory network Jürgen Matzka DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark with contributions from Ellen Clarke & Susan Macmillan, BGS; B. Veenadhari, IIG Roman Krasnoperov& Anatoly Soloviev, GC RAS; Bill Worthington, USGS Xavier Lalanne, IPGP; Jean-Michel Léger, Leti Laszlo Hegymegi, MinGeo Achim Linthe, GFZ

  2. My background: DTU Space geomagneticobservatories(THL, GDH, NAQ, BFE, TDC)and 15 variometer stations, most of them in Greenland.

  4. Instruments for geomagneticobservatories. Variometer DI-flux to measure directionabsolutely.

  9. Geomagnetic storm recorded at variouslatitudes • Observatories: • Long term record of spaceweather -> spaceclimate • Data selectioncriteria • Temporal correction of survey data • Long period EM induction • Part of thiscouldbe done by variometer stations.

  10. Quiet time geomagnetic variations

  11. Secular variation time series

  12. Global organization of observatories • IAGA • Support to observatoriesthroughtraining, instrument comparisons, resolutions. • Requiresabsolutemeasurements, approves station code, onlyinterested in definitive data. Data quality is operators responsibility. • WDC and new WDS • Wish to provide data and metadata also to geomagnetic non-experts. • For example to GEOSS ‘Global Earth Observation System of Systems’. GEOSS provides decision-support tools to a wide variety of users. • Intermagnet (consortium of observatory operators) • Checks quality of observatories and data (definitive) • Near real time and definitive data • Watch out for 1-second and Quasidefinitve data.

  20. Quality check of observatory data • In preparation for the Swarm mission files of good quality observatory hourly means in a particular format and updated once every 3 months are required. These data should • contain minimal measurement noise • be as complete as possible (no data gaps in time) • be corrected to absolute values over multi-year periods, i.e. drift-free • be without discontinuities • be in geocentric coordinate frame and time- and position-stamped • To meet these requirements misfits of spherical harmonic models can be inspected in temporal and spatial domains. Pre-processing removes all known signals, i.e. core, crust and quiet-time ionosphere, and the modelling fits most of the remaining coherent field on an hourly basis. The misfits mainly represent measurement artefacts on the 0-10 nT scale (Macmillan and Olsen, 2013). CourtesyMacmillan
