<p>We present the construction of magnetic declination charts corresponding to five epochs for last one hundred years; this was result of recovery and statistical analysis of historical magnetic data. The charts were made with the records of magnetic repeat stations reoccupation, distributed throughout the country, the goal was to observe and study the geomagnetic field morphology and their space-temporal variations in Mexico. We aimed to systematize an optimal numerical method for the spatial estimation to minimize the error given the average data for any Mexican magnetic chart: forty magnetic repeat stations and only one magnetic observatory. Also, the charts were compared with the original charts made in its corresponding epoch. The charts quality was improved and the historic geomagnetic information preserved, considering the invaluable record of historical magnetic measurements that exist in Mexico.</p>

Abstract. There is increasing demand from the global geomagnetic community for the recording of 1 second vector and scalar magnetic datain lieu of the traditional of the 1 minute data, as the 1 second magnetic data would be more compatible with measurements made from low-earth orbiting satellites and the increased detectability threshold, would contribute to: (i) understanding the global scale ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves, sudden impulses and other processes in the ionosphere & magnetosphere: (ii) development of real-time space weather forecasts. The combination of ground and satellite data opens a new pathway in understanding many underlying physical processes in the lower-middle atmospheric dynamics, which has not been accurately understood so far. The International Real-time Magnetic ObservatoryNetwork (INTERMAGNET)observatories (IMO-s) have taken a lead in this direction and many IMO-s now produce both 1 minute and 1 second data. Being affordable, rugged, compact as well as having low power consumption, fluxgate magnetometers are the staple vector sensors of IMO-s.The increased order of noise in these sensors with increasing frequencies, is the main concern and work has been going on for the last decade towards development of suitable instruments (Courtillot and Chulliat, 2008; Korepanov et al. 2006, 2009; Pedersen and Merenyi, 2016 and references therein, Dobrodnyak, 2014; Logvinov, 2014) and techniques for the evaluation and elimination of noise from the data is also being pursued (Turbitt et al. 2013). At the new Magnetic Observatory of CSIR-NGRI in Choutuppal (CPL) campus, 1 second magnetic measurements commenced in the year 2016 using the newly developed Observatory grade 1 second fluxgate magnetometer, GEOMAG-02MO, from GEOMAGNET Ukraine and the Overhauser Proton Precession Magnetometer along with the data acquisition system, MAGREC-4B. The processes of commissioning of this setup in low-latitude conditions, with the aim to finally produce 1 second definitive data (the standards of which are still under discussion with INTERMAGNET) and the characteristics of the data from this new instrument are presented in this work.

Abstract MOOC appearance has produced, in a first phase, more discussions than contributions. Despite pessimistic opinions or those catastrophic foreseeing the end of the classic education by accepting MOOC, the authors consider that, as it is happening in all situations when a field is reformed, instead of criticism or catastrophic predictions, an assessment should be simply made. MOOC will not be better or worse if it is discussed and dissected but can be tested in action, perfected by results, or abandoned if it has no prospects. Without testing, no decision is valid. A similarity between the MOOC appearance and the appearance of the idea of flying machines heavier than air can be made. In the flight case, the first reaction was a strong negation (including at Academies level) and only performing the first independent flight with an apparatus heavier than air has shifted orientation from denial to contributions. So, practical tests clarified the battle between ideas. The authors of this article encourage the idea of testing–assessment and, therefore, imagined and proposed one software for quickly assess whether MOOC produces changes in knowledge, by simply transferring courses from ‘face-to-face’ environment into the virtual one. Among the methods of statistical analysis for student behavioral changes was chosen the Keppel method. It underpins the assessment method of this work being approached using both the version with one variable and also with three variables. It is intended that this attempts to pave the way for other series of rapid assessment regarding MOOC effects (using other statistical methods). We believe, that this is the only approach that can lead either to improve the system or to renunciation.

Solar quiet current (S_q) and Equatorial Electrojet (EEJ) are two current systems which are produced by electric current in the ionosphere.  The enhancement of the horizontal magnetic field is the EEJ. This research is needed for monitoring equatorial geomagnetic current which causes atmospheric instabilities and affects high frequency and satellite communication. This study presents the longitudinal and latitudinal variation of equatorial electrojet signature at stations within the 96°mm and 210°mm African and Asian sectors respectively during quiet condition. Data from eleven observatories were used for this study. The objectives was  to determine the longitudinal and latitudinal geomagnetic field variations during solar quiet conditions, Investigate monthly variation and diurnal transient seasonal variation; Measure the strength of the EEJ at stations within the same longitudinal sectors and find out the factors responsible for the longitudinal and latitudinal variation of EEJ. Horizontal (H) component of geomagnetic field for the year 2008 from Magnetic Data Acquisition System (MAGDAS) network were used for the study. The International Quiet Days (IQDs) were used to identify quiet days. Daily baseline values for each of the geomagnetic element H  were obtained.  The monthly average of the diurnal variation was found. The seasonal variation of dH was found. Results showed that: The longitudinal and latitudinal variation in the dH differs in magnitude from one station to another within the same longitude due to the difference in the influence of the EEJ on them.

We report magnetic measurements up to 1200 K on iron-contaminated multi-walled carbon nanotube mats with a Quantum Design vibrating sample magnetometer. Extensive magnetic data consistently show a ferrromagnetic transition at about 1000 K and a ferromagnetic-like transition at about 1275 K. The ferromagnetic transition at about 1000 K is associated with an Fe impurity phase and its saturation magnetization is in quantitative agreement with the Fe concentration measured by an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer. On the other hand, the saturation magnetization for the ferromagnetic-like phase (at 1275 K) is about four orders of magnitude larger than that expected from the measured concentration of Co or CoFe . We show that this ultrahigh-temperature ferromagnetic-like behavior cannot be explained by ferromagnetism of any Fe -carbon phases, carbon-based phases, or magnetic impurities, but is consistent with the paramagnetic Meissner effect (orbital ferromagnetism) due to the existence of π Josephson junctions in a granular superconductor.

Vector measurements of the geomagnetic field have been made in the South Indian Ocean since 1988 when a Shipboard Three Component Magnetometer (STCM) was installed on board the icebreaker Shirase by the 30th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE-30). Twelve constants related to the ship's induced and permanent magnetic field were determined by the data obtained from the JARE-30 to the JARE-35. The constants related to the ship's magnetic susceptibility distribution are almost stable throughout the cruise and mostly depend on the ship's shape. On the other hand, the constants related to the ship's permanent magnetization are variable. However, absolute values of total intensity geomagnetic field calculated from vector geomagnetic field is possible to use, if the constraints from total intensity geomagnetic field measured by the proton magnetometer and/or satellite derived magnetic anomalies are applied.

AbstractThe paper describes the surface roughness and dilution effects on the magnetic behavior of nanocrystalline nickel ferrites studied by SQUID magnetometer. Two different kinds of measurements were performed: (a) zero-field cooling (ZFC) and field cooling (FC) magnetization versus temperature and (b) magnetization as a function of the applied field. The analysis of magnetic measurements indicate that while the superparamagnetic behavior is retained by nanocrystalline ferrites of different surface roughness (0.8-1.8 nm) at 300K, the hysteresis loop at 2K becomes non-squared and the coercivity increases with increase in surface roughness. This behavior is discussed in terms of broken bonds and degree of surface spin disorder. In diluted dispersion systems containing 10-40% nickel ferrite in a polyethylene matrix, the interparticle attractions continue to be dominant even when the concentration of nickel ferrite is 10 wt.% in the diluted system. The general magnetic behavior of diluted dispersion system is similar to the undiluted system; however, coercivity, remanence, and saturation magnetization are altered. These changes in the magnetic data are ascribed to magnetization interactions that encourage flux closure configuration.

The total-field magnetic anomaly [Formula: see text] is an approximation of the projection [Formula: see text] of the magnetic anomaly vector [Formula: see text] onto the normal geomagnetic field [Formula: see text]. However, for highly magnetic sources, the approximation error of [Formula: see text] cannot be ignored. To reduce the error, we have developed a method for calculating [Formula: see text] by using airborne vector magnetic data based on the vector relationship of geomagnetic field [Formula: see text]. The calculation uses the magnitude of the vectors [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] through a simple approach. To ensure that each magnitude has the same level, we normalize the magnitude of [Formula: see text] using the total-field magnetic data measured by the scalar magnetic sensor. The method is applied to the measured airborne vector magnetic data at the Qixin area of the East Tianshan Mountains in China. The results indicate that the calculated [Formula: see text] has high precision and can distinguish the approximation error less than 3.5 nT. We also analyze the characteristics of the approximation error that are caused by the effects of different total magnetization inclinations. These error characteristics are used to predict the total magnetization inclination of a 2D magnetic source based on the measured airborne vector magnetic data.

<p>In order to understand the spatial and temporal behavior of the Earth's magnetic field, scientists, following C.F. Gauss initiative in 1838 have established observatories around the world. More than 200 observatories aiming to continuously record, the time variations of the magnetic field vector and to maintain the best standard of the accuracy and resolution of the measurements.</p><p>This study focused on the acquisition and analysis of the magnetic data provided by the Algerian magnetic observatory of Tamanrasset (labelled TAM by the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy). This observatory is located in southern Algeria at 5.53°E longitude, 22.79°N Latitude. Its altitude is 1373 meters above msl. TAM is continuously running since 1932, using old brand variometers, like Mascart and La Cour with photographic recording at the very beginning. Nowadays modern electronic equipment are used in the framework of INTERMAGNET project. Very large geomagnetic database collected over a century is available. We will describe the history and the various improvement of the methods and instrumentation.</p><p>Preliminary analysis of time series of the observatory data allowed to distinguish two kinds of data: the first type, with low resolution, collected between 1932 and 1992. This data set comes from the annual, monthly, daily and hourly means. The second one with high resolution is represented by minutes and seconds sampling rate since 1993 when TAM was integrated to the world observatory network, INTERMAGNET. Part of the second dataset contains many gaps. We try to fill these gaps thanks to mathematical methods. Absolute measurements and repeat station data allow better accuracy in the secular variations and an improved regional model.</p><p>Keywords: TAM observatory, temporal variation, terrestrial magnetic field, secular variations, INTERMAGNET.</p>

<p>Magnetic surveys are commonly used for solving variety of geotechnical and geological challenges in offshore areas, jointly with a set of other geophysical methods. The most popular technique employed is hydromagnetic surveying with towed magnetometers. One of the most significant challenges encountered during processing of the magnetic data is related to temporal variations of the Earth's magnetic field. Accounting for diurnal magnetic field variations is often done by carrying out differential hydromagnetic surveys, a technique developed in the 1980-s. It is based on simultaneous measurements of the magnetic field using two sensors towed behind the vessel with a given separation. This technique allows to calculate along-course gradient which is free of magnetic field temporal variations. This measurement system resembles a gradiometer, with the distance between two sensors being referred to as the base of the gradiometer. It is possible to calculate anomalous magnetic field by integrating obtained magnetic field gradient. Studies have shown that accuracy of its reconstruction decreases with increasing base of the gradiometer. This becomes most significant when distance between the sensors and sources of magnetic field anomalies is small. This situation occur when the survey area is located in shallow water (i.e. for shallow marine, river or lake surveys).</p><p>An approach for deriving magnetic anomalies and accounting for diurnal variations in differential hydromagnetic surveys based on the frequency (spectral) representation of the measurements was proposed in 1987 [Melikhov, 1987]. This approach utilizes the fact that it is possible to reconstruct the spectrum of magnetic field anomalies along the vessel course from the spectra of measured signals from the first S<sub>1</sub>(ω) and second S<sub>2</sub>(ω) sensors. Assuming that the sensors are located at the same depth, it can be achieved via the following transform:</p><p><img src="https://contentmanager.copernicus.org/fileStorageProxy.php?f=gepj.3d3911bac60061487501161/sdaolpUECMynit/12UGE&app=m&a=0&c=ff23bad5ed5181be02f7ef7ab5e8d6e4&ct=x&pn=gepj.elif&d=1" alt="" width="192" height="43"></p><p>where ω - spatial frequency, <em>l</em> - base of the gradiometer, and <em>i</em> - imaginary unit. Assuming that at a single moment in time magnetic field variations equally affect both sensors, resulting Fourier spectrum T(ω) will correspond the spectrum of anomalous magnetic field, free of the magnetic variations. It should be noted that, similar to the along-course gradient integration approach, anomalous magnetic field is restored to a certain accuracy level.</p><p>Estimates made on model examples showed that accuracy of the field reconstruction using this method is comparable to the accuracy levels of modern marine magnetic surveys (±1-3 nT). It could be noted that for gradiometer bases comparable or larger than depths to magnetic anomaly sources, errors of the field reconstruction are significantly lower for the spectral transformation-based approach compared to along-course gradient integration.</p><p>References:</p><p>Melikhov V.R., Bulychev A.A., Shamaro A.M.
