HAARP Fluxgate Magnetometer Update - August 25, 2010 at 6:42 PM CDT

The chart is a running 36 hour plot of the readings taken from the fluxgate magnetometer, built by the University of Alaska, Geophysical Institute, operating at the HAARP ionospheric observatory in Gakona, Alaska. The three traces represent mutually orthogonal components of the earth's magnetic field as follows:
  • The "H" component (black trace) is positive magnetic northward
  • The "D" component (red trace) is positive eastward
  • The "Z" component (blue trace) is positive downward

Geomagnetic storminess is usually indicated in oscillatory variations in the earth's magnetic field. Additional detail concerning the nature and severity of the ionospheric disturbance can be found through analysis of the three components of the field. Data from a chain of magnetometers are also available.
