Geomagnetic Observatory Yakutsk (YAK)

Absolute building

The Yakutsk Geomagnetic Observatory (YAK) is run in co-operation of the Yu.G.Shafer Institute of Cosmophysical Research and Aronomy (IKFIA) and the GFZ Potsdam since the year 2007.
The geomagnetic field intensity and directions are continously recorded at the observatory since 1931.
The observatory is member of the INTERMAGNET program.
