Recent studies of the time averaged field (TAF) shows that the paleofield of Earth is much less variable than the present magnetic field, which is asymmetric between the northern and southern hemispheres. The VGP dispersion in the southern hemisphere is much larger than in the northern hemisphere.

This chapter deals with the basics of the Earth’s magnetic field. Hydromagnetic dynamo operating in the Earth’s fluid outer core is treated as a main source of the Earth’s magnetic field. Here we discuss the interaction between solar wind and the Earth’s magnetosphere that forms the global magnetospheric configuration as well as the impacts of the ...

Abstract Legendary anecdotes relate how Greco-Roman and Chinese societies may have first become aware of magnetism. For centuries it was thought to be a celestial power, but scientists learned through experimental investigations how magnetism is related to electrical currents.

Journal of Navigation, 1950
The Institute has now completed two years of its existence. The papers which have been read before it during these two years have covered a wide range of subjects and have served to emphasize the many ramifications of the science of navigation. Because of the high speed of modern aircraft, air navigation presents more problems and of greater variety ...

Abstract There is a good observational record of the history of the Earth's magnetic field throughout geological time. The physical processes occurring in the liquid core, where the field originates, are very complex however, and they are only just beginning to be understood.

Origin of the Earth's Magnetic Field
Nature, 1939THERE is considerable physical evidence that the earth possesses a metallic core1. Jeffreys2 has estimated the viscosity of the core and finds it as low as 1010 C.G.S. units. If this value is correct, an intense thermal convection must be maintained in the core by the heat development of radioactive impurities, even if the amount of the latter is ...

Reversals of the earth's magnetic field
Physics Reports, 1971Abstract One of the most intriguing problems in geophysics to-day is why the Earth's magnetic field reverses. This review summarizes the progress in our knowledge of the subject since Bullard's [1] Bakerian Lecture to the Royal Society in 1967. Reversals have played a major role in the changed outlook in geological thinking through the development of

Geomagnetic micropulsations are short period (usually of the order of seconds or minutes) fluctuations of the Earth’s magnetic field. They are transitory variations of small amplitude (usually less than one part in 104 of the Earth’s main field) and leave no permanent effect on the field. Like longer period disturbances such as magnetic storms they are

Measuring Earth’s magnetic field simply
The Physics Teacher, 2000We describe a simple experiment that allows students to measure, within a factor of two, one of the fundamental quantities of the natural world using inexpensive, familiar materials. Students recruited to physics in the class cite this type of experience as the reason.
