A Python-based software was developed for real-time visualization and quality control at India’s CPL and HYB geomagnetic observatories. The tool generates plots, conducts quality checks, and computes first differences at 1s and 1min intervals with under 300s latency, aiding anomaly detection and quasi-definitive data preparation. Designed for future integration with AI/ML, this system enhances geomagnetic data accuracy and accessibility, revolutionizing research, forecasting, and visualization.

Seismo-electromagnetic (SEM) signals emitted prior to major earthquakes show promise as candidates for short-term earthquake prediction. Analyzing the frequency characteristics of SEM signals provides insights into pre-earthquake processes in the focal zone, such as microfracturing and electrokinetic phenomena. The combined application of fractal and multifractal methods proves to be an effective tool for analyzing these complex signals.

Short summary
The enhancement or anomalies in the geomagnetic field from the very seismically active region of Andaman-Nicobar observed in the diurnal ratio (DR) and polarization ratio (PR) indicate EM signatures from pre-processes of earthquakes in lithosphere. The significant enhancements show the success rate of around 78 % and an average of 18 days prior to the earthquake. A long-term data and more stations may provide more insights in physical processes of Earth’s subsurface, and range of detectability.

Data analysis of the geomagnetic field is needed for space weather prediction. Conventional techniques do not always provide sufficient efficiency. We suggest new techniques for processing and analyzing geomagnetic data based on the wavelet transform for studying the dynamics and spatiotemporal distribution of geomagnetic perturbations. The paper discusses prestorm short-term increases of geomagnetic activity and the features of different magnetospheric processes for increased solar activity.

Under German law, crack damage stress must not be reached at any time during the operation or post-closure phase of a nuclear waste repository. This legal requirement can only be fulfilled if the parameter can be measured precisely. We have thus developed a new measurement technique, which overcomes the limitations of the conventional method. In combination, old and new methods offer an easy procedure to detect crack damage stress in fully saturated rocks in a fast and robust manner.

In an airborne survey, dynamic flight conditions cause unequal data levels, which have a serious impact on airborne geophysical data analysis and interpretation. A new technique is proposed to level geophysical data, and we confirm the reliability of the method by applying it to magnetic data and apparent conductivity data. The method can automatically extract the levelling errors without the participation of staff members or tie line control.

MDAL is a near real-time, satellite-based surface albedo product based on the geostationary Meteosat Second Generation mission. We propose an update to the processing algorithm that generates MDAL and evaluate the results of these changes through comparison with the pre-update, currently operational MDAL product as well as reference data using different satellite-based albedo products and in situ measurements. We find that the update provides a valuable improvement.

The quality control and validation activities performed by the Swarm data quality team reveal the good-quality LPs. The analysis demonstrated that the current baseline plasma data products are improved with respect to previous baseline. The LPs have captured the ionospheric plasma variability over more than half of a solar cycle, revealing the data quality dependence on the solar activity. The quality of the LP data will further improve promotion of their application to a broad range of studies.

Methods for reconstruction of winter long data gaps in snow depth time series are compared. The methods use snow depth data from neighboring stations or calculate snow depth from temperature and precipitation data. All methods except one are able to reproduce the average snow depth and maximum snow depth in a winter reasonably well. For reconstructing the number of snow days with snow depth ≥ 1 cm, results suggest using a snow model instead of relying on data from neighboring stations.

We have produced a standardised high-quality set of measurements to create definitive data for four Indonesian Geomagnetic Observatories for 2010–2018. We explain the steps taken to update the existing data collection and processing protocols and suggest improvements to further enhance the quality of the magnetic time series at each observatory. The new data will fill the gap in the western Pacific region and provide input into geomagnetic field modeling and secular variation studies.

Researchers are making increasing use of machine learning to improve accuracy, efficiency and consistency. During such a study of the aurora, it was noted that biases or distortions had crept into the data because of the conditions (or ergonomics) of the human trainers. As using machine-learning techniques in auroral research is relatively new, it is critical that such biases are brought to the attention of the academic and citizen science communities.

Focused ion beam (FIB) slicing is a widely used technique to prepare ultrathin slices for the microanalysis of geological and environmental samples. During our investigations of the manganese oxidation states in rock varnish slices, we found an FIB-related reduction of manganese(IV) to manganese(II) at the samples’ surfaces. This study characterizes the observed reduction artifacts and emphasizes that caution is needed in the analysis of transition metal oxidation states upon FIB preparation.

To better understand the influence of sample geometry on laboratory measurements of permeability, the permeabilities of sandstone samples with different lengths and diameters were measured. Despite the large range in length, aspect ratio, and volume, the permeabilities of the samples are near identical. This is due to a homogeneous porosity structure and the small grain/pore size with respect to the minimum tested diameter and length. More tests are now needed to help develop such guidelines.

This paper focuses on major issues related to data reliability and MOBNET network performance in the AlpArray seismic experiments. We present both new hardware and software tools that help to assure the high-quality standard of broadband seismic data. Special attention is paid to issues like a detection of sensor misorientation, timing problems, exchange of record components and/or their polarity reversal, sensor mass centring, or anomalous channel amplitudes due to imperfect gain.

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.

In this work, we analysed the Cheongyang geomagnetic baseline data from 2014 to 2016. We observed a step of more than 5 nT in the H and Z baseline in 2014 and 2015 due to artificial magnetic noise in the absolute hut. The baseline also shows a periodic modulation due to temperature variations in the fluxgate magnetometer hut. The quality of the baselines was improved by correcting the discontinuity in the H and Z baselines.

Solar spectral UV irradiance data measured by the Brewer #037 spectroradiometer in Sodankylä, Finland, in 1990–2014 were examined for their quality flags given by the quality assurance (QA) tools of the European UV DataBase (EUVDB). Statistical analysis on the flags was performed, and five cases were investigated in detail. The results can be used in further development of the quality control/QA tools and selection of cases of exceptional atmospheric conditions for process studies.
