Oersted
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007672
The unit of magnetic field strength (H-field) in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is used in studies of geomagnetism and space weather, which examine the interaction between the solar wind and the Earth's magnetosphere and upper atmosphere. One oersted is equivalent to approximately 79.577 amperes per meter in the International System of Units (SI).
