My home magnetometer has been offline for a few weeks because, as it turned out, the sensor and electronics buried in the garden in a 'sealed' plastic pipe were waterlogged. Not bad given that it had been underground for about 5 years. No wonder it finally gave up the ghost.

I've replaced the business end with a new sensor in a sealed pipe and thermally insulated plastic box, all again buried underground to keep everything at a reasonably constant temperature.

After giving the whole system time to settle, here are the first results from November 11th, which I've compared with professional data from Chambon la Foret. The correlation looks pretty good, so I'm happy to say things are back up and running.

Thanks for looking.

Stu.

Glad you're back in business, looking forward to seeing another 5 years of results from it!

Wow! almost identical! we have had an exceptional wet year so I hope the new sensor is installed in an ark

almost exact

Stu: what info told you were water logged?

Well done, Stu. I’m glad you could recover quickly from the waterlogging disaster.
The correspondence with the Chambon result is striking.
Cheers.

Hi Stu...

Great to see the magnetometer is back in business, and your data is such a close match to the professional data

I saw on the news that much of the UK was getting rain events that were breaking records...likely a contributor to your woes. I remember the dam that was threatening to break the week after we left at the end of July, so the wet season has continued.
