Investigation of Magnetic Field Phenomena in the Ionosphere

Abstract

This report summarizes the work in maintaining a network of geomagnetic observatories designed to collect and digitally transmit variations of the geomagnetic field. Lightning protection was designed and installed on the induction coil magnetometers. Power supplies of the fluxgate magnetometers were updated, scale changes modified, cooling capacity increased. New temperature control of trailers installed. The changing total field component is traced over the past five years and a method of calibrating the fluxgate magnetometer is outlined.
