Context: Recently, Indian scientists have developed an indigenous Overhauser Magnetometer, one of the most accurate magnetometers extensively used by all magnetic observatories around the world.
It is developed by the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism (IIG), an autonomous research institution under DST, Government of India.
It is installed at the Alibag Magnetic Observatory (MO) and has the potential to reduce India’s reliance on commercial OVH magnetometers for geomagnetic field measurements.
It accurately reproduced the geomagnetic diurnal variations accurately and precisely showed the signatures of various space weather events such as geomagnetic storms, sudden impulses, etc.
A magnetometer is a device that measures the magnetic field or magnetic dipole moment.
Our earth is a gigantic magnet. Experiments show that variations in the Earth’s magnetic field are linked to a variety of weather phenomena. As a result, scientists all over the world can consistently measure changes in the Earth’s magnetic field.
OVH magnetometers are known for their higher accuracy, higher sensitivity, and efficient power consumption and hence find applications in all magnetic observatories worldwide as well as in international space programs.
