| Zusammenfassung |
| Regular magnetic daily quiet time (Sq) variations in total intensity of about
30 nT amplitude are determined in Universal Time (UT) from satellite
magnetic field measurements. The CHAMP satellite traverses all hours of
local time in 132 days and the Sq variations in total intensity are therefore
calculated as an average over the 132 days for each hour of UT. Results are
compared with the Sq daily variations in total intensity for the region above
the ionosphere calculated from Malin's (1973) spherical harmonic analysis of
the Sq Fourier coefficients for hourly mean value magnetic data from a global
distribution of ground-based magnetic observatories. From the reasonable
agreement between the two calculations, we conclude that low-Earth orbit
satellites that traverse all hours of local time can determine Sq variations
in total intensity above the ionosphere. |
