Abstract

Summary

The generation of a map of lateral conductivity variations is a task within the framework “GEOMAGICA”, a project coordinated by ZAMG (Zentralanstalt für Meteorologie und Geodynamik). Project goal is the development of a near real-time model of geomagnetically induced currents in mid-latitude Central Europe ( ). It is carried out, due to the fact, that large currents also pose a threat to Austria, not only in high- latitude countries, where geomagnetic storms are more powerful and have potentially more dangerous consequences. In order to understand the interaction between geomagnetically induced currents, ground conductivity and electrical infrastructure, a map of lateral conductivity variations was built, which is outlined in this work. The herein presented project shows a new application and the value of aeroelectromagnetic data gathered recently and also over a long period in the past for an important infrastructural problem.
