Geomagnetic Observatories

A global network of geomagnetic observatories is the backbone of studies concerning the field sources in the Earth's core, ionosphere and magnetosphere. Moreover, the data are used for models and maps with practical applications, and the determination of magnetic activity indices for space weather monitoring.

From its A.-Schmidt-Observatory for Geomagnetism in Niemegk , GFZ operates a number of geomagnetic observatories and observatory cooperation worldwide. Further observatories are operated or supported through national and international cooperation. 16 are current member of INTERMAGNET. Observatories operated by GFZ are the Adolf Schmidt Observatory for Geomagnetism (NGK); the Geomagnetic Observatory Tristan da Cunha (TDC), the Geomagnetic Observatory St. Helena (SHE), the Geomagnetic Observatory Santa Maria (SMA*), and the Geomagnetic Observatory Wingst (WNG).

Geomagnetic Observatory Data

The GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences operates and supports geomagnetic observatories worldwide. We provide unique and important scientific data for the investigation of Earth's interior (Earth's core and mantle) and near-Earth space (ionosphere …
Geomagnetic Observatory Niemegk (NGK)

The Adolf-Schmidt-Observatory for Geomagnetism in Niemegk is operated by GFZ since 1992. It belongs to Section 2.3, Geomagnetism. The observatory is located 50km SW of Potsdam. Since 1930 it continues the measurements, that started in Potsdam in 189…
Geomagnetic Observatory Santa Maria (SMA)

The Santa Maria (SMA) Observatory (Azores) is operated by GFZ and currently under construction. The geomagnetic field intensity and directions are continously recorded at the observatory.
Geomagnetic Observatory St. Helena (SHE)

The Geomagnetic Observatory St. Helena (SHE) was set up in 2007 and is operated by GFZ. Data from 2010 onward is also available at INTERMAGNET.
Geomagnetic Observatory Tristan da Cunha (TDC)

The Geomagnetische Observatory Tristan da Cunha (TDC) was opened in October 2009 and is operated by the GFZ. The observatory is member of the INTERMAGNET program.
Geomagnetic Observatory Wingst (WNG)

The Geomagnetic Observatory Wingst (WNG) is operated as a remote station of the Niemegk Geomagnetic Observatory by GFZ since 2004. The Wingst observatory is a member of the INTERMAGNET program.
