• Effects of Geomagnetic Disturbances on Offshore Magnetic Directional Wellbore Positioning in the Northern Auroral Zone 

      Edvardsen, Inge (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2016-01-29)
      This thesis focuses on how disturbances in the geomagnetic field, offshore northern Norway, may affect the accuracy of magnetic directional wellbore surveying. The topics discussed are, however, applicable to the entire northern auroral zone. Suggestions on how to manage the effect of increased geomagnetic activity on magnetic directional wellbore survey operations in and near the auroral zone are ...
    • Effects of substorm electrojet on declination along concurrent geomagnetic latitudes in the northern auroral zone 

      Edvardsen, Inge; Johnsen, Magnar Gullikstad; Løvhaug, Unni Pia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-02)
      The geomagnetic field often experiences large fluctuations, especially at high latitudes in the auroral zones. We have found, using simulations, that there are significant differences in the substorm signature, in certain coordinate systems, as a function of longitude. This is confirmed by the analysis of real, measured data from comparable locations. Large geomagnetic fluctuations pose ...
