Global-GMDs: The global map of geomagnetic disturbances
To improve the understanding and monitoring the impacts of geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) on power grids globally, the presented software, Global-GMDs, uses magnetic field measurements from geomagnetic observatories worldwide and Kriging method to generate global maps of GMDs. It provides better ob...

| description | To improve the understanding and monitoring the impacts of geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) on power grids globally, the presented software, Global-GMDs, uses magnetic field measurements from geomagnetic observatories worldwide and Kriging method to generate global maps of GMDs. It provides better observational information during a solar storm to power grid operations and other crucial infrastructures. It can also help researchers to assess the GMDs prediction model by comparing with Global-GMDs maps and to get better understanding of physics mechanisms. |
