South America Riometer Network (SARINET) Kazuo Makita (Takushoku University, Japan) We study upper atmosphere phenomena in South Atlantic Geomagnetic Anomaly (SAGA)since 1997. So far, we installed several instruments at more than 10 stations in South America. Riometer / Imaging riometer is mainequipment and named this riometer network observation as South America Riometer Network (SARINET). Recently we also installed Electric Field detectors at several points. We called this network observation as South America Field of Electricity Network (SAFENET). IGRF:2000 NOAA data : >30keV electron

Summary and Conclusion Geomagnetic Field in 2235 Variation of Dipole moment 1022Am2 Dipole moment Latitude Longitude Geomagnetic Field is sharply decreasing , especially in South Atlantic Ocean area. (2) What influence will be happened under the week geomagnetic field condition ?. (3) At present, the influence of environment due to decreasing of geomagnetic field is not so remarkable. However, it must be important to continue observation for the influence in South America region.
