Geomagnetic observatories

Geomagnetic observatories are specialized facilities that continuously monitor Earth's magnetic field using sensitive instruments called magnetometers. They track variations caused by solar activity, natural phenomena, and internal Earth processes. These observations help scientists understand space weather, protect satellite and communication systems, and study Earth's interior and magnetic environment. By providing reliable, long-term data, geomagnetic observatories contribute to scientific research, navigation safety, and Earth's magnetic field modeling. They are strategically located around the world to capture a comprehensive picture of Earth's magnetic behavior.
