Variation of the geomagnetic field was measured by a search-coil magnetometer at King Sejong Station in Antarctica. The data supports the study of ultra low frequency (ULF) wave activity in the southern high latitude region. The dataset was created by AMD_KOPRI and last updated in September 2019.
Use Cases
- Analyze temporal patterns in geomagnetic field variation to study ULF wave activity.
- Correlate search-coil magnetometer measurements with solar wind data to understand external drivers.
- Model the frequency spectrum of geomagnetic fluctuations specific to the southern high latitude region.
- Validate theoretical models of magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling using ground-based Antarctic measurements.
Strengths
- Data is sourced from a dedicated Antarctic research station, providing a unique high-latitude perspective.
- The dataset is focused on a specific year (2019), enabling detailed annual analysis.
Limitations
- The sample size, temporal coverage, and specific data dimensions (rows, columns) are unknown.
- Data is from a single geographic location, limiting spatial generalizability.
- The dataset is temporally stale, with no updates since 2019.
