A Report on Geomagnetic Observatories and Observations, 1994 

bY 

S.J. McLean, W.M. Davis, L.D. Morris, and H. Meyers 

Recent years have seen dramatic changes in our world. Countries have dissolved and new ones 

emerged. The same can be said of the geomagnetic observatory network worldwide. Some 

observatories have been closed, some have been renamed or relocated, and some new 

observatories have been established. The present status of the geomagnetic observatory network 

is of interest to the research community and to many observatory operators who need access to 

data from other regions. To make data more accessible to the international scientific community, 

most of the world’s observatories have been very generous in making their data available through 

the World Data Center system. 

This report is part of the ongoing effort by the World Data Center-A in Boulder, Colorado, to 

catalog the status of the geomagnetic observatory network. Because of the importance of higher 

resolution observatory data and the need to fill the gaps between magnetic observatories with 

good magnetic repeat observations, we have expanded the report. Tables 1 and 2 contain 

information on the current magnetic observatory network, based on annual means data received at 

WDC-A. Table 3 shows the availability of digital high-resolution data at WDC-A, while Tables 4 

and 5 give an historic look at the magnetic observatory network. Table 6 summarizes the repeat 

station data efforts of IAGA Division V Working Group 8, Analysis of the Global and Regional 

Geomagnetic Field and its Secular Variation (formerly WG V-4 Magnetic Surveys and Charts) 

(Newitt, 1993). 

Historically, magnetic observatories were established to monitor the secular change of Earth’s 

magnetic field, and this remains one of their most important functions. For the purpose of this 

report, the term “standard geomagnetic observatory” or simply “magnetic observatory” implies an 

installation that is producing data suitable for studies of secular change. This generally involves 

absolute measurements sufficient in number to monitor instrumental drift and the production of 

annual means. The output product of the standard geomagnetic observatory has traditionally been 

the magnetogram. This is changing as more observatories operate digital magnetometers 

recording high-resolution data. Analog recording rates are typically 20 mm/h, whle digital rates 

vary from less than one second to one minute. While the digitally recorded data are considered by 

many to be the primary record, the analog record can be synthesized from the digital recordings if 

desired. Absolute observations of the field elements provide a baseline for the magnetograms and 

monitor instrument drift. Hourly mean values are averaged for the daily, monthly, and annual 

mean values. The magnetic observatory mean data are crucial to the studies of secular change, 

investigations into the Earth’s interior, and to global modeling efforts. 

For the purpose of global modeling of Earth’s magnetic field, probably the greatest weakness in 

the means data base comes from the uneven geographical distribution of observatories. 

Observatories are currently limited to land areas. Neither the land mass available, nor the 

distribution of observatories on land are evenly distributed geographically. Maps 1 and 2 show the 

locations of observatories, color coded by the timeliness of the annual means available from the 
World Data Centers. It is clear that the majority of observatories producing annual means as well 

as the majority of current means are located in the Northern Hemisphere. Ths problem is not a 

new one (see Map 3 showing the location of observatories since 1818). A variety of methods are 

presently being investigated to help alleviate this-from the formation of regional committees to 

foster cooperation among observatories, to research into magnetometers which will operate on 

the ocean bottom. The effects of these efforts are already being felt in the increased flow of 

information and data from Latin America. The U.S. Geodynamics Committee, Board on Earth 

Sciences and Resources, Commission on Geosciences, Environment and Resources of the 

National Research Council, formed a task group to consider the distribution of magnetic 

observatory sites, uses of data, rapid transmission to Data Centers, and management and funding 

problems. The task group will issue a report in May of 1994 (personal communication, J. 

Heirtzler, chairman Task Group for Geomagnetic Observatories). Other data problems are being 

addressed through IAGA’s Program Outreach (Williams, 1993), and the efforts of STEP and 

INTERMAGNET to establish new observatory and variation sites. Appendix I contains the names 

and addresses for organizations managing observatories. Where available, electronic mail 

addresses are included. 

While possibly the best method of mapping the secular change in the magnetic field is with 

traditional magnetic observatory data, as shown in Map 1, observatory data is not always 

available. Carefully carried out magnetic repeat observations play an important role in filling the 

gaps between observatories. With this in mind, IAGA adopted a scheme for classifying and 

reporting magnetic repeat station data at the General Assembly in Exeter in July 1989. The 

scheme was designed to ensure regular reporting of repeat station data to the World Data Centers 

by using a standardized form and including sufficient information about the data collection and 

reduction for the data to be useful in magnetic field modeling. This work was undertaken by the 

Working Group V-4, Magnetic Surveys and Charts, with the data being forwarded to the World 

Data Center-A for Solid Earth Geophysics as the primary archive and dissemination center. In 

1993, L. R. Newitt, Geological Survey of Canada, compiled and published A Catalog of National 

Magnetic Surveys and Charts describing surveying and charting activities globally. It is not the 

intention of this report to repeat the work of this catalog, but rather to briefly describe the status 

of data received at the WDC-A as a result of the efforts of WG V-4. Table 6 and Map 5 show the 

type and location of repeat observations at the WDC-A. 

Finally, in an effort to illustrate the changes in the global network with time, Tables 4 and 5 and 

Figure 1 give an historical look at magnetic observatories producing annual means from 18 18 to 

the present. Table 4 lists observatories by country, showing the years of annual means available 

and links to earlier and later observatories. Table 5 is a comprehensive listing of all magnetic 

observatories showing the location, station and IAGA code. Figure 1 depicts the changes in the 

number of magnetic observatories in operation with time. This illustration is loosely based on 

work previously done by S.R.C. Malin and D. Gubbins, but is created from the annual means data 

available from WDC-A. 

While every effort has been made to ensure the information in this report is accurate, some errors 

may be found. The WDC-A would appreciate being informed of any errors or omissions so they 

2 
can be corrected. The information contained in this report is available in computer readable form 

on floppy diskette. If you would like a copy, please contact Susan McLean:

Appendix I1 

A Sample Report for Magnetic Results 

Data from the magnetic observatories arrive at the WDC-A in a variety of formats and on a 

variety of media. The following example was extracted with the kind permission of the authors. 

The original and complete report is available from the British Geological Survey: Clark, T.D.G., 

Kerridge, D.J., and Harris, T.J. (compilers) 1992, “Magnetic results 1991: Lerwick, Eskdalemuir 

and Hartland observatories,” British Geological Survey Geomagnetic Bulletin 21. Some of the 

important features of this report are: 

1. The geographic and geomagnetic location, including elevation, are clearly shown. 

2. The instrumentation is detailed, including any important notes affecting operations. 

3. Monthly and annual means are clearly presented with units shown. 

4. The report contains an historical accounting of annual means with changes noted, but 

not applied, with a clear description of the cause of the change. 

Whether data arrive by letter, printed Annual Report, in computer-readable format on diskette or 

via electronic transfer, it is important to include the information content from items 1 through 3 

above. 

Sample Report: 

Hartland (Devon, England) 

Hartland observatory is situated on the NW boundary of Hartland village. The site is the 

southern half of a large meadow which slopes steeply northward into a wooded valley. The 

sea (Bristol Channel) is about 3 km to both the north and west of Hartland. BGS operates 

a three-component seismometer set and a LF microphone at the observatory, and data from 

a seismic outstation in South Wales is transmitted to the observatory by radio link. 

The observatory was purpose-built for magnetic work, and continuous operations began in 

1957, the International Geophysical Year (IGY). Hartland is the successor to Abinger and 

Greenwich observatories. The moves from Greenwich to Abingcr and then to Hartland were 

made necessary as electrification of the railways progressed, making accurate geomagnetic 

measurements impossible in SE England. BGS Look control of Hartland observatory, from 

the Royal Greenwich Observatory, in 1968. 

Since June 1987 Mr K E Johns (caretaker) has been the only member of BGS staff stationed 

at Hartland.

Figure 3 is a site diagram of Hartland observatory. Routine maintenance was carried out on 

all the observatory buildings during 1991. 

The observatory coordinates are: 

Geographic Geomagnetic 

Latitude 5 1 "00" 54'06' 

Height above msl 95 m 

Longitude 355'3 1 'E 80"20' 

3 INSTRUMENTATION 

3.1 Absolute observations 

At each observatory absolute measurements are made in a single Absolute Hut (see the site 

diagrams). Since 1st January 1990 absolute measurements of all geomagnetic elements are 

referred to a single standard pillar at each of the observatories. For continuity with previous 

records the differences between the new and old standards are quoted in the tables of annual 

mean values in the sense (new standard - old skindard) for all elements of the geomagnetic 

field. Thus annual mean values prior to 1990.5 can be referred to the new standard by adding 

the site difference to the old standard values. A detailed account of the change in absolute 

measurement reference is given by Kerridge and Clark (1991). 

The instruments used at each observatory are given below.

The World Data Center System 

DESCRIPTION OF WORLD DATA CENTERS 

The World Data Centers (WDCs) were created in 1957 to provide archiving for the observational 

data resulting from the International Geophysical Year (IGY). In the years following the IGY, the 

International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) recommended that the WDCs continue to 

collect, archive, and redistribute data. This new system for exchanging geophysical data was 

found to be very effective, and the operations of the WDCs were extended by ICSU on a 

continuing basis to other international programs. The WDCs were under the supervision of the 

Comite International de Geophysique for the period 1960 through 1967 and are now supervised 

by the ICSU Panel on World Data Centres. 

World Data Centers have been established in a variety of countries: WDC-A is located in the 

USA; WDC-B in Russia; WDC-C in western Europe, Australia, and Japan; and, WDC-D in the 

People's Republic of China. The Centers collect and distribute data for a number of disciplines: 

0 meteorology 

0 oceanography 

0 astronomy 

0 rockets and satellites 

0 solar-terrestrial physics: solar and interplanetary phenomena, ionospheric phenomena, 

0 nuclear radiation 

0 glaciology (snow and ice) and geocryology 

0 marine geology and geophysics: gravity, magnetics, bathymetry, seismic profiles, marine 

sediment, rock analyses 

0 solid earth geology and geophysics: seismology, tsunamis, gravimetry, Earth tides, recent 

movements of Earth's crust, Earth's rotation, magnetic measurements, paleomagnetism and 

archaeomagnetism, volcanology, geothermics 

flare-associated events, geomagnetic phenomena, aurora, cosmic rays, airglow 

0 renewable resources and environment 

In each discipline, the scientific community determines the nature and form of data exchange, 

based on research needs. Thus, the type and amount of data in the WDCs differ from discipline to 

discipline. However, each WDC is responsible for: 

0 collecting data in the field or discipline for which it is responsible 

0 protecting the incoming data 

0 copying and reproducing data, maintaining adequate standards of clarity and durability 

0 supplying copies of data to other WDCs 

0 preparing catalogs of data 

0 making data available to the scientific community. 

139 
All the Centers are staffed, funded, and maintained exclusively by the countries in which they are 

located. The WDCs catalog the data and make them available to scientists in all countries upon 

written request or personal visit. Minimal charges may be requested to cover costs of processing 

the requested data. 

WORLD DATA CENTER-A 

World Data Center-A was established in the United States under the auspices of the National 

Academy of Sciences. WDC-A is operated with national resources, but follows ICSU guidelines. 

The National Academy of Sciences has overall responsibility through the Geophysics Research 

Forum and its Committee on Geophysical Data. WDC-A consists of a Coordination Office and 

nine sub-centers at scientific institutions in various parts of the United States. Most WDC-A subcenters are at corresponding national data centers, whose large national collections are available 

through the WDC-A sub-centers. 

Organizations wishtng to contribute data or establish exchange agreements should contact the 

appropriate World Data Center-A.
