Magnetic Storm of February 23–25, 1926

Abstract

FEBRUARY 1926 was characterised by rather considerable magnetic activity, there being during the month only four really quiet days, namely, February 6–9. The outstanding feature of the month was the storm of February 23–25, which, as regards duration, was of greater magnitude than that of January 26–27, some aspects of which were discussed in NATURE by Father J. P. Rowland, S.J. It will be noticed that the storms were separated by an interval of twenty-eight days.
