REAL-TIME ANALYSIS OF STATUS AND CHANGES OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD USING CROWD MAG APPLICATION FOR SMART ENVIRONMENT

Summary/Abstract: Part of Smart Environments are also electromagnetic fields. Even if we cannot see them, they are omnipresent. They are typically fairly static but change due to various elements in the surrounding area. Additionally, they can also change due to events related to space weather, which is becoming more and more relevant as we move towards the peak of solar activity. This was again very relevant recently, in May 2024, when we saw major changes in the earth’s magnetic field due to events on the sun, which resulted on the earth in the appearance of aurora and also impacted critical infrastructure, such as the problem with the operation of GPS systems. The subject of the research is the evaluation of the magnetic field in real-time. The CrowdMag application released by NOAA is used for this purpose. Based on some typical day-to-day usage scenarios, the main goal is to explore the possibilities offered by the hardware magnetometers of the telephone set. The goal is also to evaluate the results of the on-site measurement with the mentioned tool. The obtained results of the analysis will help assess the possibilities offered by this tool. And to assist in obtaining a map of the magnetic field in real-time, which is independent of satellite data.
