A SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC COLLECTION AND PROCESSING OF STANDARD MAGNETOMETER DATA, AND THE CALCULA TION OF THEIR POWER SPECTRUM

Abstract

The equipment which is under construction for collection of the geomagnetic data, will sample all three components of the earth's magnetic field each 30 seconds. It has been completed and tested for recording of one component and found to be working satisfactorily. In the near future recordings will also be made of the other two components. A computer program was developed for the reduction of the data. An analyses was also made of the spectrum of the fluctuations of the geomagnetic X-component in the frequency range 0.5-.0042 cps.
