Notes:

Eyrewell is New Zealand’s national geomagnetic observatory, providing high-quality variometer data to INTERMAGNET and providing one of two Southern Hemisphere contributions to the planetary Kp index. Measurements from Eyrewell provide an essential view of geomagnetic variations in the central South Island, supporting the measurments from the MANA network. Due to the requirements of this magnetic observatory, data from this site is significantly delayed compared to the rest of the MANA network.
