A Spectral Analysis of Geomagnetic Field Dynamics Across Solar Cycles

Project Description:

The Earth's geomagnetic activity is intricately linked to solar phenomena, particularly the 11-year solar cycle, as highlighted in Kotze (2016). While this relationship is acknowledged, understanding the nuanced variations in geomagnetic activity during different solar cycles remains a complex challenge. This project aims to investigate the behaviour and variation of periodicities in geomagnetic observatory data during various solar cycles, with a specific focus on the characteristics of the synodic 27-day period and its different harmonics.
