An Observation Station for Geomagnetism and Magnetic Storms − A Project in a Research Club — •Florian von Bargen1,4 and Hans-Otto Carmesin1,2,3 — 1Gymnasium Athenaeum, Harsefelder Straße 40, 21680 Stade — 2Studienseminar Stade, Bahnhofstr. 5, 21682 Stade — 3Universität Bremen, Fachbereich 1, Postfach 330440, 28334 Bremen — 4Brecht-Schule, Norderstraße 163, 20097 Hamburg
The project deals with the measurement and prediction of solar storms. Solar storms are the resultant phe- nomena of a solar flare. Violent solar storms can cause power outages, paralyze satellites and air traffic. This would lead to unpleasant restrictions in our daily life, and cause high costs.
The project deals with the measurement of these storms by recording magnetic fields with a fluxgate sensor. Based on this, a forecast can then be made regarding frequency and intensity. One sensor is already stationary. It delivers data permanently online in 80cm soil depth. The measurement results of the station are close to those of the metrology institute of the Federal Republic of Germany (PTB) in terms of measurement accuracy or measurement fluctuations. We report about results and experiences.
