This paper reports on the design and installation of a thermostat to keep the temperature of the fluxgate magnetometer constant and the data stability evaluation after installation. The thermostat was installed at the Icheon Geomagnetic Observatory operated by the Korean Space Weather Center of National Radio Research Agency. It was designed in consideration of stability of temperature control against safety incident, potential effects on magnetic field measurement, and the temperature control efficiency. After the temperature control device was installed, it was confirmed that the temperature was constantly maintained at the level of 20℃. Delta F and baseline values were used to evaluate geomagnetic data stability, and it was confirmed that delta F and baseline fluctuations were reduced after installation of the thermostat.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
