Synthesis
from AIEPOS TCS Geomagnetic Observations focuses on the study of Earth’s magnetic field dynamics, including rapid changes driven by solar activity (geomagnetic storms). The initiative leverages high-resolution digital data to enhance European collaboration in geomagnetism, modernizing data archival, distribution, and access. It provides 19 Data, Data Products, Software and Services (DDSS) such as geomagnetic models, indices, magnetotelluric data, and community portals. By integrating these resources into the EPOS infrastructure, the TCS supports navigation systems, tectonic research, and European mapping agencies, while addressing societal challenges like geo-hazards and geodynamic phenomena.
