[edit] Baikal Magneto-Telluric Observatory (Uzury)

The Baikal Magneto-Telluric Observatory of the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics SB RAS (Olkhon island, Baikal lake). Foreground: Ring Gauge Installation (RING) for vertical component registration of the variable electromagnetic field over the oscillation range of 0-300 Hz.

[edit] Magnetic Observatory “Irkutsk”

Conception of the substance liquid state in the Earth core has led geophysicists to the conclusion that the main geomagnetic-field component might generate as the dynamo. Complex convective and electromagnetic internal processes should influence geomagnetic Earth-surface field. The world-wide network of magnetic observatories has been continuously measuring the geomagnetic field for some decades. The Irkutsk Magnetic Observatory joined them in 1887.
