| Zusammenfassung |
| The first Croatian geomagnetic observatory was established in the area of the Nature Park
Lonjsko Polje, after a century of sporadic efforts originating from the proposals of Andrija
Mohorovicic. The location was chosen after exhaustive surveys of possible sites. It is located
far enough from sources of civilization noise, and was found to be an area without
magnetic anomalies and with a low field gradient. The construction of the observatory
buildings was completed in the autumn of 2011. The furnishing and installation of
instruments and test measurements were completed by the beginning of summer
2012, ever since we have continuous recordings of the geomagnetic elements. In the
beginning of December 2012 the fluxgate magnetometer LEMI-035 (H,D,Z orientation)
has been installed under the framework of the PLASMON project in cooperation
with the Tihany Observatory (Hungary). Permanent data of high quality from our
observatory will contribute to the monitoring of the Earth’s magnetic field on the
regional and global levels, thus enabling further development of geomagnetism in
Croatia through collaboration with scientists from the other countries, participation
in the international projects, eventual membership in the International Real-time
Magnetic Observatory Network (INTERMAGNET), etc. The field elements for the
epoch 2012,75 and the baselines are presented together with highlights of some
recorded geomagnetic events so far. Furthermore, the comparison between the variation
data recorded by the dIdD and the fluxgate LEMI-035 magnetometer is presented. |
