Short summary
Data loggers of magnetic observatories use GPS receivers to provide accurate time stamping of recorded data. Typical sampling rate is 1 s. A failure of the GPS receiver can result in erroneous time stamps. The observatory of Lanzhou, China, accumulated a lag of 28 s over 1 year. Using magnetic data recorded at other locations in a radius of 3000 km it was possible to estimate the diurnal lag and correct the time tamps to produce reliable 1 min averages of magnetic data.
