GEOMAGNETIC STORM CREATING DISTURBANCE OF EARTH'S UPPER ATMOSPHERE, WHEN THERE IS A VERY EFFICIENT EXCHANGE OF SOLAR WIND /ENERGY

The colaba observatory was operational from 1841to 1906 and is /was set in a historic location in Colaba Mumbai from where first regular observations of the geomagnetic field variations in India were carried out and brought on the data report. The department of the science and technology has inaugurated a research centre at the Indian Institute of Geomagnetic to digitise archived data from over 180 years old Colaba geomagnetic observatory in the Country the Ministry of Science and technology further confirmed for the report of IIG. The Colaba research Center will focus on digitizing the archived data sets from one of the oldest observatories in India. Continuity of the magnetic observation is maintained with the commissioning of Alibag magnetic observatory. The Colaba- Alibag combined series makes magnetic data for a period of more than 175 years. The said site consists of ancient equipment that documented geomagnetic data, registering geomagnetic storms over the years, and created a piece of the history of the scientific exploration in India. The digitisation will be done by integrating modern techniques for providing valuable insight into historical geomagnetic storms at the site housing a heritage building and armed with a staff strength of nine, as per report of the Ministry and this can help to form a benchmark for the probability factor of its occurrence of geomagnetic storms in the future and may digitise archived data observatory reports:-- Er Fateh chand Guleria, RTI welfare Association registered number HPCD, 3552 Bilaspur Himachal Pradesh phone number, 9459334377
