Abstract

Summary

The magnetic field of the Earth is continuously changing and its variations have wide spectrum from ≈0 to many megaHertz. This work deals with narrow part of that spectrum: from 150 to 6000 s and monitors variations of the geomagnetic field’s slope (incline). The induction vector was used as a quantitative estimate of the slope. Three components of magnetic field records at 137 observatories of the network «Intermagnet» have been processed for 1991–2014 years and time-series of 4 induction vector components were obtained. The resulting records are filled with irregular and periodic variations (especially annual ones), but the main interest of this work is trends. The largest trend of magnitude 0.2 in all periods, but only in the real northern component, is found in southern Greenland and can be well explained by the melting of glaciers occurring in recent decades as a result of global warming. Trends observed in several observatories of North America and Greenland can be related with extraordinary fast movement of the North magnetic pole (1100 km for 1990–2014 years).
