Geomagnetic Database
The Geomagnetic Database enables measurement of geomagnetic data from observatories at Scott Base (Antarctica), Eyrewell (Canterbury) and Apia (Samoa) and transfers processed data to the global INTERMAGNET database https://intermagnet.github.io/. This database documents the short-term and long-term fluctuations in the Earth's regional (New Zealand) magnetic field. Legacy hardcopy magnetograms in storage are being digitised.
