although the concern is more about geomagnetic effects on the power grid, anything that helps understand the relationship between the sun and the geomagnetic field is a good thing. This particularly caught my eye:
For example, 1-D models have trouble calculating changes in geomagnetic induction currents near coastal regions where land abruptly gives way to ocean. That's a particularly big problem because such models have trouble calculating the buildup of charge at the boundary between land and sea (also known as the "boundary effect")
Obviously Grayland would be a fine site for a geomagnetic observatory.... best wishes, Nick _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
