Geoinformation system for analyzing the dynamics of extreme geomagnetic disturbances from observations of ground stations

Abstract

The paper is concerned with an approach to developing a specialized web-GIS based on a microservice architecture that provides analytical control of the disturbed component of geomagnetic field variations, according to observation data from magnetic observatories and variational stations published on the SuperMAG portal (http://supermag.jhuapl.edu/). A method of spatial interpolation of geomagnetic data implemented in the proposed web-GIS, together with the proposed scheme for ranking and interpreting them, as well as a visualization method in the form of isolines, allows a user to track the structure, observe the dynamics, identify probable regions, duration and time intervals of the occurrence of extreme geomagnetic disturbances.
