This issue is a collection of the papers read at the 'Workshop on
Geomagnetic Observatory and Survey Practice' held during the XIVth
General Assembly of IUGG (the International Union of Geology and
Geophysics) in Hamburg, August 1983, sponsored by Division V of the
International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA). The
papers represent a snapshot taken at a very important time in the
history of Geomagnetism and of the sciences which depend on
measurements of one kind or another of the Earth's magnetic field.
Research science now demands a much greater amount of information
to be prepared and immediately made available to the scientific
user. Experimental measurements are now required to be reduced,
selected and made ready as information which can be recorded as
data on magnetic tape in the form required for direct incorporation
into the analytical programmes whiCh individual researchers run on
digital computers. Computing has reduced the lead time between when
observations are made and when they are required by researchers.
Many scientific programmes, particularly those related to
Solar-terrestrial geophysics, need data to be analysed as near as
possible to the time it is recorded. In Geomagnetism these
pressures apply to field variations where satellite based
geophysical experiments require high resolution of the fine
structure of external disturbance fields, and also to field mapping
on a global and local scale where the demand for increased accuracy
calls for better absolute observations and more frequent surveys.
