Statement

There was a succession of 3 observatories in or near Christchurch: the first was established in the Botanic Gardens (1901-1958; paper records), the second at Amberley (1916-1977; paper records), and the third at Eyrewell (1978-1995; paper records). In 1994 digital equipment was installed at Eyrewell allowing it to become an INTERMAGNET observatory.

Magnetic measurements began at Scott Base for the International Geophysical Year in 1957. GNS has paper records from 1957-1994. Scott Base became an INTERMAGNET observatory in 1996.

Magnetic measurements in Apia began in 1902. GNS has paper records from 1907-1994. In 1998 the installation of a digital system allowed Apia to become an INTERMAGNET observatory.

Real-time data is now sent to INTERMAGNET Geomagnetic Information Nodes within 72 hours of recording.
