Geomagnetic observatory hourly and minute means

Hourly and minute means of the geomagnetic field vector components from observatories around the world from, respectively, 1883 and 1969, to the present day. At present there are about 160 observatories. These data are useful for tracking changes in the magnetic field generated inside and outside the Earth. Data are produced by a number of organisations around the world, including BGS. Data are available in plain text from www.wdc.bgs.ac.uk.

Data Quality

Data are received from various institutes around the world including BGS, through an agreement with INTERMAGNET (http://www.intermagnet.org/) and through exchange with other World Data Centres for Geomagnetism. They are checked for gross errors, formatting errors (reformatting as necessary), before uploading to www.wdc.bgs.ac.uk.
