Abstract [en]

Geomagnetic observatory data are crucial for all branches of geophysics because they can contribute to earthquake research by detecting anomalies in the Earth’s magnetic field. Recently, data records from the Misallat (MLT) and Abu Simbel (ABS) Egyptian geomagnetic observatories were processed and found to be of good quality. In this study, Egyptian observatory data were tested during both quiet and disturbed events and compared with data from INTERMAGNET observatories worldwide at different latitudes and within a narrow range of longitudes in both hemispheres. This study investigated the relationships between magnetic field components from Egyptian observatories and those from INTERMAGNET observatories using graphical representations of the X components; Pearson’s correlation for the X, Y, Z, and F components; cross-correlation for the X component; and wavelet coherence for the F component. The results of this study showed a high correlation between Egyptian observatories and all utilized INTERMAGNET stations, except those located at high latitudes, during both quiet and disturbed events. Additionally, the study confirmed the observed consistency between Egyptian observatories and selected INTERMAGNET stations. Therefore, Egyptian observatories can feasibly fill the gap in the Middle East and North Africa.
