More articles regarding the magnetic poles. Scientist are watching this very closely. Not sure there is anything that can be done except getting right with yourself! If you missed the link I posted yesterday give it a quick read and follow the links. Swarm is a ESA satellite mission that launched on 22nd November 2013 (illustrated right). The mission consists of three identical satellites that are precisely measuring the strength and direction of Earths magnetic field. The new data is being processed by the British Geological Survey to produce an accurate map of this field. In order to best measure the field, the satellites orbit in a unique configuration. Two satellites will fly side-by-side at height of 280 miles (450km), while the third satellite will fly at an altitude of 330 miles (530km). The lower two satellites allow very fine measurements of the magnetic field generated by the rocks in the Earths crust, which are difficult to detect otherwise. The upper satellite gives a simultaneous measurement at a different location. dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2665901/Is-Earth-magnetic-field-getting-weaker-Dramatic-dips-spotted-Western-Hemisphere-damage-satellites.html
