Three years continuous record of the Earth’s magnetic field at Concordia Station (DomeC, Antarctica)

The magnetic observatory deployed at DomeC, Antarctica, in the French-Italian base known as Concordia has now been permanently running for more than three years. This paper focuses on these long-term results which are more relevant for an observatory intended to provide absolute values of the field....

Description
Summary:The magnetic observatory deployed at DomeC, Antarctica, in the French-Italian base known as Concordia has now been permanently running for more than three years. This paper focuses on these long-term results which are more relevant for an observatory intended to provide absolute values of the field. The problems which emerged in this fairly long record are discussed and solutions suggested to upgrade the observatory to the standards of an absolute one (i.e. Intermagnet standards).
