A magnetometer is born
With a few fits and starts with software and with a lot of help form carbon60
I have built a magnetometer using his design
on sept 28 - 29 I packed up my first CME ( )
here is graph
data is inverted (mirror image) but I got it
and much thanks to Carbon60

Re: A magnetometer is born
It certainly captured all the details, John.
It would be great if we could have a global network of these...... Anyone?

Welcome to the SolarChat Magnetometer Network.
As Stu said........ we need a few more to cover the globe

Re: A magnetometer is born
Just seems like a nice idea......... although it is interesting to compare results from different commercial stations and see magnetic changes happening at different times and to different degrees of intensity.

Re: A magnetometer is born
As Mike says, magnetometers show different recordings for the same event depending on their location. It would be really interesting to be able to take data in a common format from our stations around the globe and create a visual map of local magnetic activity during geomagnetic storms. Although professional networks show their charts, it seems really difficult to get hold of the original data to do something like this for ourselves. Now if we had a network of our own.......
