Title:
Geomagnetic observatory hourly and minute means
code:
http://data.bgs.ac.uk/id/dataHolding/13605429
Abstract:
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.
