Variability of Horizontal Magnetic Field Intensity from Some Stations within the Equatorial Electrojet Belt
Journal Title: Physical Science International Journal - Year 2017, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
The variability of the horizontal component of magnetic field intensity from 7 stations within the Equatorial electrojet (EEJ) belt (±3° of the magnetic equator) has been investigated using year 2008 data measured from the Magnetic Data Acquisition System (MAGDAS) magnetometers. The monthly mean hourly values show variation in the pre-sunrise hours, within the range of 1nT to 21nT. However, dH during the day has a much higher variation than those observed during the pre-sunrise and dusk hours. The presence of Counter electrojet (CEJ) in the morning and evening hours were also observed. Also, equinoctial maximum was observed in most stations, and the horizontal magnetic field intensity over ANC located in the South American sector displays the highest amplitude, while ILR in the African sector appears to have the lowest amplitude.

Metastable Non-Nucleonic States of Nuclear Matter: Phenomenology
A hypothesis of the existence of metastable states for nuclear matter with a locally shaken-up nucleonic structure of the nucleus, was proposed earlier. Such states are initiated by inelastic scattering of electrons by n...
Finding on the Similarity between the Two Empirical Formulas: Temperature Dependence of Volumetric Expansion of Gas and Temperature Dependence of Resistivity of Conductor
This paper finds and examines the similarity between the temperature dependence of volumetric expansion of gases and the temperature dependence of resistance of conductors. In the 1780s, Jacques Charles came to know that...
The Coherent States Involving Lucas Numbers
In this paper we consider the coherent states which play an important role in quantum optics, especially in laser physics and much work in this field. Here we connect the coherent states with the Lucas numbers and Fibona...
