The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) — a weakened region of Earth's magnetic field — continues to grow, revealing the complex and dynamic behavior of the planet's interior geophysics.
Swarm Reveals Growing Weak Spot In Earth’s Magnetic Field
Eddie Gonzales Jr. – MessageToEagle.com – Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the European Space Agency’s Swarm satellite constellation, scientists have discovered that the weak region in Earth’s magnetic field over the South Atlantic – known as the South Atlantic Anomaly – has expanded by an area nearly half the size of continental […]
The South Atlantic Anomaly has been steadily expanding and weakening since 2014 • The magnetic field over Canada is weakening, while it is significantly strengthening over Siberia • The changes threaten satellites in orbit and modern navigation systems
