Rapid changes in the Earth's core: The magnetic field and gravity from a satellite perspectiveMunich, Germany (SPX) Oct 23, 2012 Annual to decadal changes in the earth's magnetic field in a region that stretches from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean have a close relationship with variations of gravity in this area. From this it can be concluded that outer core processes are reflected in gravity data. This is the result presented by a German-French group of geophysicists in the latest issue of PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States). The main field of the Earth's magnetic field is ge ... read more |
