Geomagnetic Observations

Geomagnetic observations have a long history across Europe, though there has been little European-level coordination. EPOS will consolidate the community; modernise data archival and distribution formats for existing services, such as INTERMAGNET; and create new services for magnetotelluric data and geomagnetic models.

WP13 Geomagnetic Observations is aimed at integrating existing and newly developed services and models into EPOS and taking thus advatage from all EPOS Central services.

The WP13 work is organized in six tasks. Three tasks are aimed at establishing the governance framework for TCS Implementation, communication channels with the community and interoperability with ICS and three tasks are aimed at developing the TCS.

EPOS will provide data, data products, software, models and, in some cases, computational facilities to its users. Collectively these are known as services. Each scientific work package in EPOS has decided which services to offer.
