Geomagnetic Observatory Alibag (ABG)

Main building

The Alibag Geomagnetic Observatory (ABG) is run in co-operation of the Indian Instiute of Geomagnetism and the GFZ Potsdam since the year 2007.
The geomagnetic field intensity and directions are continously recorded at the observatory.
The observatory is member of the INTERMAGNET program.
