Data used for the analysis are from the Italian geomagnetic observatory at Mario Zucchelli Station (formerly Terra Nova Bay, geographic latitude 74.7° S, corrected geomagnetic latitude 80.0° S), from the French-Italian observatory at Concordia Station (75.1° S, 88.9° S) and from the French observatory at Dumont D’Urville (66.7° S, 80.4° S), which are located in pairs at the same geographic and corrected geomagnetic latitude; such a position allows to distinguish whether the geographic or the geomagnetic reference system is better suitable to describe the observed phenomena at so high latitudes. The peculiarities of the daily variation as observed during this year and its relation with the observatory location and magnetospheric and interplanetary conditions were analysed. Data were also studied taking into account different Lloyd seasons. The results indicate that the 24-h variation is quite persistent, but its amplitude strongly depends on season and global geomagnetic activity: indeed, it almost vanishes during local winter for quiet geomagnetic conditions; this reduction is more evident at the stations closer to the geographic pole, where the solar radiation reduction during winter is more dramatic. The Interplanetary Magnetic Field orientation has been found to be important in that the north-south and the east-west components control the amplitude and the diurnal pattern of the variation, respectively.500 34 - PublicationOpen AccessGeomagnetic field observations at a new Antarctic site, within the AIMNet project(2010-05-02)

The magnetometer is situated at Talos Dome, around 300 km geographically North-West from Mario Zucchelli Station (MZS), and approximately at the same geomagnetic latitude as MZS. In this work we present a preliminary analysis of the geomagnetic field 1-min data, and a comparison with simultaneous data from different Antarctic stations.261 361 - PublicationOpen AccessGeomagnetic Observation Results 1998/1999(2002)

In the first three years continuous time variation monitoring and absolute measurements of the geomagnetic field were carried out only during summer expeditions. Starting 1991 an automatic acquisition system, operating through all the year, was put in operation. We present here some peculiarities of the daily variation as observed for fourteen years (1987-2000). The availability of a long series of data has allowed the definition of seasonal, as well as solar cycle effects, on short time variations as observed at a cusp-cap observatory. In particular, contrary to mid latitude behaviour, a clear dependence of the daily variation amplitude on the global geomagnetic K index was well defined.494 564 - PublicationOpen AccessGeomagnetic bservation result, 2007-2008(2011)

The main shock local magnitude was Ml = 5.8 (Mw = 6.3). Several powerful aftershocks occurred the following days. The epicentre of the main shock occurred 6 km away from the Geomagnetic Observatory of L'Aquila, on a fault 15 km long having a NW-SE strike, about 140°, and a SW dip of about 42°. For this reason L'Aquila seismic events offered very favourable conditions to detect possible electromagnetic emissions related to the earthquake. Data used in this work come from the permanent geomagnetic Observatories of L’Aquila and Duronia. Here the results concerning the analysis of the residual magnetic field estimated by means of the inter-station impulse response functions in the frequency band from 0.3 Hz to 3 Hz are shown.196 31 - PublicationOpen AccessLow frequency geomagnetic field fluctuations in Antarctica: comparison between two polar cap stations(2006-04-02)

The two stations are usually in the polar cap, at the footprint of open geomagnetic field lines, but around local geomagnetic noon they approach the polar cusp. This study focuses on the coherence and phase difference between the fluctuations at the two stations. The analysis is based on 1-min values of the horizontal H component measured during the entire years 2001-2002. The coherence and phase difference have been computed for each 2-hours interval with a step-size of 1 hour. Station TNB is run by INGV; data from SBA are provided by INTERMAGNET CD-ROMs. Interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and solar wind (SW) data from ACE spacecraft have been downloaded from OMNI database. Interplanetary data have been delayed by 1 hour to take into account the average SW transit time from ACE to Earth.141 286 - PublicationOpen AccessHints on the Multiscale Nature of Geomagnetic Field Fluctuations During Quiet and Disturbed PeriodsWe analyze the geomagnetic data recorded at 78 stations from 13 to 31 March 2015. Using the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method, we focus our attention on geomagnetic signal due to sources which are external to the Earth, that is, due to current systems flowing in the ionosphere and magnetosphere. We analyze the short timescale fluctuations (τ < 200 min) of this magnetic signal, their dependence on magnetic latitude, magnetic local time, and geomagnetic activity. At high geomagnetic latitudes (>|60°|), these short timescale fluctuations constitute more than 30% of the external magnetic field. Their maximum contribution occurs along the auroral oval suggesting that they are mainly triggered by the ionospheric electric current systems active in these regions. A discussion of the relevance of these short timescale magnetic fluctuations to result in a more significant modeling and prediction of geomagnetically induced currents in the auroral zones is also provided.
334 2 - PublicationOpen Access“Characterization of the geomagnetic field fluctuations during St. Patrick’s Day Storm”We present a preliminary study of the properties of the magnetic field’s fluctuations during the St. Patrick’s Day geomagnetic storm occurred on 17 March 2015. We analyse the minute values of the geomagnetic field recorded simultaneously by a latitudinal network of 18 geomagnetic observatories located at different latitudes, from the equatorial regions to the northern high-latitude ones. We apply the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) method to the X (North) and Y (East) components of the geomagnetic field recorded during a period (13 - 30 March 2015) covering the whole duration of the storm. This adaptive method, which can be applied to signals originating from nonlinear and non-stationary processes, permits us to separate fast (𝜏<200 min) and slow (𝜏>200 min) magnetic fluctuations, which are related to different magnetospheric processes. Indeed, it has been shown that whilemagneticfluctuationsat long timescales (𝜏>200 min) showa large degree of correlationbetween solar windparameters and magnetosphericdynamicsproxies, at short timescales(𝜏<200 min)theyareessentially related to internal magnetospheric processes andseem to be notdirectlydriven by interplanetarychanges. The differentenergycontribution of the fast and slow fluctuationsisinvestigatedas a function of latitudeduring the development of theselectedgeomagneticstorm.The weight of the signal related to the fluctuations on a short time scale shows a dependence on the latitude and geomagnetic activity level.
