Comment on this resource
This user?s guide contains background science and technology information for the magnetometer program across the country known as the Geomagnetic Event Observatory Network by Students (GEONS). It describes the role that terrestrial magnetism plays in shaping a number of important Earth systems. It also explains the basic operating principles behind magnetometers ? particularly the system used in the GEONS program.
