Magnetometric Measurements at Mt. Aragats

Magnetometric station LEMI-018, and LEMI-417 commissioned by Lviv center of Space Research Institute of Ukrainian Academy of Science, have been installed on the slope of mountain Aragats (Armenia) at heights 2000 and 3200m above sea level. Operation of magnetometric station started on July 2009 and 2011 accordingly. LEMI-417 is measuring also components of the electric field. One second time series of the 3-dimensional measurements of the geomagnetic field enter the data base of the Aragats Space Environmental Center (ASEC) and will highly improve research of correlations of the geomagnetic parameters, and changes of the fluxes of secondary cosmic rays by ASEC monitors and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) measured by facilities on board space station located 1.5 mln km from Earth will assist to understand Solar influence on the Earth environments. Measurements of geomagnetic field at Nor Amberd (2000m) and Aragats (3200m) research stations of A.Alikhanyan national lab will support forewarning of the upcoming major geomagnetic storms. We present the detection of the first geomagnetic storms of the 24 solar activity cycle detected by new installed magnetometric stations.
