Abstract

MERIDIAN is a 120° east ground based multi-station and multi-instrument project proposed in China. IWF/ÖAW in Graz, Austria in cooperation with IGPP/UCLA in Los Angeles, USA and CSSAR/CAS in Beijing, China has developed variometers for magnetic field observations along this MERIDIAN chain. The variometer (CHIMAG) is a fluxgate magnetometer especially for Earth field variation and pulsation measurements. Three variometer stations have been installed in Beijing (40° N), Hainan (19° N) and Wuhan (30.5° N), respectively. Two more will be installed in 1999. In this paper we will present the design and the scientific objectives of the CHIMAG as well as the results of the first observations.
