A Global Ground‐Based Magnetometer Initiative

With the motto “Knowledge is the common wealth of humanity,” the 2007–2008 Electronic Geophysical Year (eGY) advocated that scientists have the responsibility to create and implement strategies that utilize the full potential of digital capabilities in providing information for present and future generations. Although eGY has officially ended, the geomagnetic research community continues to support the goals of eGY through a global ground‐based magnetometer initiative. This initiative, called SuperMAG, helps scientists have easy access to measurements of the Earth's magnetic field.
