Maps of Magnetometer Stations
Following are two clickable images of magnetometer stations in the northern
and southern hemispheres respectively, showing the positions of stations
against the background of the continents.
In the northern hemisphere four rings of geomagnetic latitude are also shown
for information (calculated in the
AACGM co-ordinate
system).
The colours for the stations indicate whether a station is intended to be a
contributor to one of the new
auroral oval indicators:
- Red - Contracted oval
- Green - Standard oval
- Blue - Expanded oval
- Magenta - Other stations
If you click on a map, you will get the details of the station at
the point at which you clicked.
