Some minor geomagnetic storms are possible because of a cooler, less dense spot on the sun’s surface, forecasters said.

Some states will have a chance to see the northern lights Tuesday, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric ...

The agency announced earlier this year it will be launching a rip current risk map in 2025. A rip current is a powerful channel of water that moves away from the shoreline, according to the ...

“The way the model is built, our forecast is mostly an extrapolation given our current ... and why doesn’t magnetic north stay in one place? This image shows magnetic declination, or the ...

The quantum Hall effect, a fundamental effect in quantum mechanics, not only generates an electric but also a magnetic current. It arises from the motion of electrons on an orbit around the nuclei ...

Mariners must be aware of the current magnetic declination and adjust their course accordingly. Pilots also use GPS for precise location tracking and magnetic compasses for directional orientation.

This revelation is a significant stride away from the conventional belief that all aspects of the Earth’s magnetic field, particularly total intensity, are essential to precise navigation. For years, ...

Many migratory birds use Earth’s magnetic field as a compass, but some can also use information from that field to determine more or less where they are on a mental map. Eurasian reed warblers ...

Understanding these dynamic interactions, which change on timescales ranging from days to centuries, is crucial for safeguarding our infrastructure and current way of life. Measuring the corona's ...
