Kakioka Magnetic Observatory

The Kakioka Magnetic Observatory, located in Japan, is a research facility dedicated to monitoring Earth's magnetic field. It records variations caused by natural phenomena like solar activity and Earth's internal processes. These data help scientists understand space weather, protect satellites and power grids, and study Earth's deep interior. Established in 1914, it operates with highly sensitive instruments that continuously measure magnetic changes, contributing valuable information for geophysical and space weather research.
