Magnetograph
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010594
An instrument designed to continuously record variations in the Earth's magnetic field or the magnetic fields of celestial bodies like the Sun. In atmospheric science, magnetographs are used to study geomagnetic activity, which can be influenced by solar flares and coronal mass ejections. Data from these instruments contribute to space weather forecasting.
