Description
The Geomagnetic Observatory Wingst (WNG) is operated as a remote station of the Niemegk Geomagnetic Observatory by GFZ since 2004. A cooperation existed between the Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie (BSH) up to 2011. The observatory belonged to BSH up to 1999. At the Wingst Observatory, the geomagnetic field intensity and directions have been recorded since 1938 and indices of geomagnetic activity determined since 1944. GFZ provides current and definitive data of the observatory in cooperation with the World Data Centers for Geomagnetism, and a table of the annual mean values of the Marineobservatorium Wilhelmshaven. The Wingst observatory is member of the INTERMAGNET program.
