Mikhnevo: A new geomagnetic observatory

In summer 2023, continuous observations of the Earth's magnetic field parameters were launched at the Mikhnevo geophysical polygon of the M.A. Sadovsky Institute of Geophysics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Stupino District, Moscow Region). This observatory is the first modern geomagnetic observatory in the vast territory of the central region of the Russian Federation, registering high-quality data with 1-second sampling. The observatory is located far enough from the sources of anthropogenic electromagnetic interference, which is confirmed by the noise characteristics of the recorded data. Deployment of the observatory was carried out taking into account both the long-term experience accumulated by the specialists of the GC RAS and the recommendations of the INTERMAGNET international geomagnetic observatory network.
