investigations of lithosphere influence on secular variations – anomalies of secular variations
investigations of dynamics and kinematics secular variations focuses

3. Secular variation of geomagnetic field δF in Europe (magnetic observatories data)

4. Ukraine has four magnetic observatories:
“Argentina Islands” (Ukrainian Antarctic Station “Academic Vernadsky”)
“KYIV” (Dymer)
“Lviv” (Ivano-Frankove)
“ODESA” (Stepanivka)

5. MAGNETIC OBSERVATORY
“ARGENTINA ISLANDS”

6. Magnetic observatory “Argentina Islands” on the UA Antarctic station “Academic Vernadsky”

7. Geomagnetic observations in the magnetic observatory “Argentina Islands”

8. Field trials of a magnetic-variational station in Antarctic

9. REPET STATION OF UKRAINE IN 1972 - 1974

10. Modern state of Repeat Stations Network in Ukraine

11. RS density:
For this 50 RS, equipped by pillars we are planning some 100 – 200 km density.
Epoch 2006:
Were founded 21RS in Carpathian region and Central Ukraine. On each of this stations were measured magnetic field components D, I, F.
Epoch 2007:
- We are planning to found new 30 RS in the west, east and south of Ukraine.
- But we have a financial problem. As yet, we have funds only for 15 RS.

12. Instruments for RS survey:
F – proton magnetometer MV-01 (USSR)
D, I – LEMI-203, Fluxgate Declinometer-Inclinometer (ISR, Lviv, Ukraine)
Variations of X, Y, Z – LEMI-008, Digital magnetic-variation station (ISR, Lviv, Ukraine)
Geographic North – hour angle method of Sun, theodolite UT2M (USSR)

13. Field works: LEMI-203 on RS

TARGET
RS PILLOW

16. Measurements practice
measurements with a proton magnetometer are carried out a few meters around the site for determination of field’s local gradient and detection of metal peaces that may be recently occurred in site
Set up of the base station for continuous F-recording during the whole duration of measurements in a distance 30 – 200 m from the pillar
F-readings above the pillar before and after D I-measurements
4 – 8 cycles of DI-measurements per day during 2 – 3 days, orientation controlled by 1 – 2 triangulation points before and after each cycle

19. The main problems:
a modernization of magnetic observatories – replacement of old equipment by digital magnetic-variational stations and modern fluxgate magnetometers
improvement of reduction methods for considering of large distances between RS and magnetic observatories
improvement of geomagnetic and astronomic measurements methods to reduce errors
financial support of investigations
RS equipment upgrade
