Colloquially, L-value often describes the set of magnetic field lines which cross the Earth's magnetic equator at a number of Earth-radii equal to the L-value.
12.
In the ( approximately ) dipole field of the Earth, the magnitude of the field is greatest near the magnetic poles, and least near the magnetic Equator.
13.
In 1948 he invented a device to monitor the intensity of cosmic ray neutrons, which he deployed at stations from Chicago to the magnetic equator in Peru.
14.
If the earth were a perfect bar magnet, sending out its fields in long arcs, then the field lines at the magnetic equator should parallel the earth's surface.
15.
Dst index is an estimate of the magnetic field change at the Earth's magnetic equator due to a ring of electric current at and just earthward of the geosynchronous orbit.
16.
For example, " L = 2 " describes the set of the Earth's magnetic field lines which cross the Earth's magnetic equator two earth radii from the center of the Earth.
17.
It is scientifically important because the magnetic equator is all where the Equatorial Electrojet exists a stream of electrons whizzing across the sky, about 110-120 km above the Earth s surface.
18.
The " L " parameter is traditionally labeled in Earth-radii, of the point where the shell crosses the magnetic Equator, of the equivalent dipole . " B " is measured in gauss.
19.
The meridional radar chain extends from Sondrestrom Upper Atmospheric Research Facility in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland through Millstone Hill at mid-latitudes, beyond Arecibo at low latitudes, to the Jicamarca facility at the magnetic equator in Peru.
20.
One of its first projects was the establishment of the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station ( TERLS ) in the district of Trivandrum on the southern tip of India very close to Earth's magnetic equator.
