A Bayesian Approach to F‐Region Mesoscale Flow Estimation With EISCAT_3D
Abstract The ionospheric electric field is a key parameter for understanding ionospheric electrodynamics and the magnetosphere–ionosphere coupling. Several methods have been developed to reconstruct the two‐dimensional distribution of the ionospheric electric field from line‐of‐sight (LOS) ion velocities observed by incoherent scatter radars ...

A Fortran II Computer program has been developed by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey to compute the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) for any geographic position. To facilitate the portrayal and comparison of magnetic anomalies, the IGRF is used as a common datum for removal of regional gradients from magnetic survey measurements. This

Should IGRF data be commercialized?
At the 1989 International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy meeting in Exeter, U.K., a proposal was presented to support geomagnetic observatories in the Third World by charging commercial users of the International Geomagnetic Reference Field a price for its use. The proposal guarantees research scientists free access to IGRF.

Abstract Earth's magnetotail and its plasma sheet are highly dynamic, influenced by both the solar wind and the inner magnetosphere. Periodically, energy is explosively released in the magnetotail during substorms. However, the extent to which electrons are accelerated in the magnetotail remains an open question, with recent observations revealing ...

The problem with IGRF commercialization
I wish to comment on the news item, “Geomagnetic Reference Field: To License or Not to License?,” by Stuart and others, which appeared in the February 19 issue of Eos. It is important to recall some of the history of establishing an International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) and the conditions that prevailed before the field was standardized ...

Evidence from Strandings for Geomagnetic Sensitivity in Cetaceans [PDF]
We tested the hypothesis that cetaceans use weak anomalies in the geomagnetic field as cues for orientation, navigation and/or piloting. Using the positions of 212 stranding events of live animals in the Smith sonian compilation which fall within the ...

Imaging ionospheric inhomogeneities using spaceborne synthetic aperture radar [PDF]
We present a technique and results of 2-D imaging of Faraday rotation and total electron content using spaceborne L band polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR).

A New Orthogonal Geomagnetic Coordinate System: The Generalized Eccentric Dipole
Abstract The study of near‐Earth plasma environment relies heavily on accurate geomagnetic coordinate systems, mainly because the plasma motion is controlled by the E×B $\boldsymbol{E}\times \boldsymbol{B}$ drift and thus is constrained by the structure of the magnetic field.

Another view on IGRF commercialization
The purpose of this article is to add to Patrick Taylor's arguments against commercialization of the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) (Eos, April 16, 1991), and to examine the long‐term future of the global network of magnetic observatories.

Abstract The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) in Earth's radiation belt is a critical region that poses significant threats to the safety of Space Stations. This region harbors a high concentration of energetic particles that can penetrate Space Stations, thereby affecting onboard components and posing risks to astronauts.
