Abstract
The formation of international networks of magnetic observatories has provided new opportunities for monitoring geomagnetic disturbances and solving problems related to space weather. On the other hand, collective processing of data from numerous observatories revealed problems with the quality of data provided by some of them. Sometimes, the reason for the decrease in data quality is associated with faulty measuring instruments. However, every year, industrial interference also increases its influence on measurement quality. INTERMAGNET suggests carrying out a mutual comparison between the values of neighboring magnetic observatories as one of the methods for solving the problem of maintaining data quality. This paper proposes a method to improve the quality of magnetograms, which makes it possible to eliminate the results of interference of local origin through the use of four spatially separated magnetic observatories located in Kazakhstan. This method is suitable for automating the magnetograms’ quality control process.
