Magnetology: Stay Prepared for Geomagnetic Storms
Magnetology is a free iPhone application developed by Vasiliy Kozlov in the Lifestyle category. This app allows users to stay informed about the forecast of geomagnetic storms and the state of the Earth's geomagnetic field.
Geomagnetic storms can have adverse effects on human health, causing symptoms such as aches, dizziness, rapid heart rate, and abnormal blood pressure. Individuals with abnormal blood conditions and cardiovascular or autonomic nervous system issues are particularly susceptible to the influence of these storms. The impact of geomagnetic storms on individuals can vary depending on factors such as health status, stress levels, physical and emotional fatigue, and natural predisposition.
In addition to affecting human health, geomagnetic storms can also disrupt communications, navigation systems, and power grids. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones are especially vulnerable to the impact of these storms. By utilizing the forecast provided by Magnetology, users can plan their activities, avoid high physical stress, and protect themselves from the negative consequences of geomagnetic storms.
The application provides information on the nature of geomagnetic storms, explaining that they are caused by changes in the Earth's geomagnetic field under the influence of the Sun. The intensity of these disturbances varies and is measured by the Kp index, which ranges from 0 to 9. Disturbances with a Kp index of 5 and above are classified as storms. It is important to note that the Earth experiences up to 50 geomagnetic storms per year.
Magnetology acknowledges David Howell for English localization and Johan Milani for French localization. In upcoming updates, the application plans to introduce personal forecasts. The app utilizes data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to provide accurate and reliable information to its users.
