Les anomalies magnétiques de grandes longueurs d'onde (supérieures à 500 km) mises en évidence par les satellites POGO [Polar Orbiting Geophysical Observatory] et Magsat sont créées par des contrastes d'aimantation induite et rémanente dans la lithosphère. 3, record 1, French, - anomalie%20magn%C3%A9tique%20de%20grande%20longueur%20d%27onde

La partie de la carte correspondante au domaine continental est caractérisée par la superposition d'anomalies de grande longueur d'onde s'étendant sur plusieurs centaines de kilomètres, et des anomalies de courtes longueur d'onde avec de fortes amplitudes. Aucune anomalie de longueur d'onde intermédiaire ne peut être observée dans cette région. Les anomalies de grande longueur d'onde présentent une alternance d'anomalies positives et anomalies négatives. 4, record 1, French, - anomalie%20magn%C3%A9tique%20de%20grande%20longueur%20d%27onde

There are approximately 250 permanent observatories in operation around the world. These stations take continuous measurements of the Earth's magnetic field and report these values to World Data Centers.... Most of the data used in modeling the main field comes from the high quality magnetic satellites : Polar Orbiting Geophysical Observatory(POGO 1965-1971) [;] Magnetic Field Satellite(Magsat 1979-1980)... 2, record 2, English, - Polar%20Orbiting%20Geophysical%20Observatory

Orbiting Geophysical Observatory(OGO), series of six orbiting observatories launched between 1964 and 1969 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) to study the earth's atmosphere, ionosphere, and magnetosphere and the solar wind. In order to provide global coverage, three of the satellites(OGO-2, OGO-4, and OGO-6) were launched into low polar orbits while the other three(OGO-1, OGO-3, and OGO-5) were placed in eccentric orbits ranging out as far as almost 92, 830 mi(150, 000 km). Each observatory carried 20-25 instruments, including cosmic ray detectors, counters, and telescopes, ionization chambers, Geiger counters, magnetometers, spectrometers, photometers, micrometeoroid detectors, and ion and electron traps. Among the significant achievements of the OGO program were the first observations of daytime auroras and of the protons responsible for the ring of electric current that surrounds the earth during magnetic storms, the collection of data showing the interaction of the solar wind with the earth's magnetosphere, and the verification of the existence of the plasmapause, the inner boundary of the region of trapped radiation in the magnetosphere. 2, record 3, English, - Orbiting%20Geophysical%20Observatory
