Researching the earths magnetic field isn't one of my strong points and i will admit i don't know a great deal about it, but i do check its status regularly, i try to do this on a regular basis, and the past (rough estimate) 2 weeks i have been seeing some very strange anomalys which i havn't seen before (been following this site for just over 1 year and i have never seen anything like this)

If you are an expert i would appreciate your input, please dont flame or call me an idiot, i just havn't seen this before and like i said, i check this site more or less every day.

The field usually allways looks like this:
www2.nict.go.jp...

But its been acting strange (last 2 weeks):

www2.nict.go.jp...
www2.nict.go.jp...
www2.nict.go.jp...
www2.nict.go.jp...
www2.nict.go.jp...

Also found this, the reversal looks like whats been happening the last two weeks....


Ive seen a couple of photos where the red and blue lines were totally VIRTICAL in opposite directions, red going up and blue going down and were not acctually going behind the planet, (which i have never seen over the whole year) its rare to see a normal magnetic field the last 2 weeks.

Would appreciate some intelligent input from anyone who understands this better than myself.

Cheers.

Kind regards

Eric.

EDIT:
I would like to add, i would add more photos of when it looks normal, but i could only find 1 out of about 50 that i looked at.

I had a look, but, like you, I do not know how to interprate them.

Nice all the same.

Thanks, i will take your word for it, like i said i dont know a great deal about this except that it's unusual from what i've seen before, its very frustrating when you don't know much about something and need to rely on other people

No problem. Keep in mind though, I'm not an official expert either. I'm just a devoted hobbyist very interested in the prospect of Geomagnetic reversal.
I'm sure it will happen again, (check out the PBS show "Magnetic Storm" by Nova) but it won't be a doomsday scenario by any stretch of the word unless our field is severely diminished for a long time.

I won't say that it won't occur in our lifetimes, because truth be told no one knows.

That's right. Nothing to see here. Move along now.

S&F. Good catch.

Is there something you want to say on the matter?
Like I said, I'm no expert.

However, it is only natural that we will see more activity as the sun enters its next cycle. Activity is supposed to increase as we head toward solar maximums. The unusual thing here is the lack of activity we had until recently.
The field will take a beating as it always dose, she can take it.

I only wish i had time, 90% of my time is taken up researching other fields of science unfortunately

Well then here is the little kiddie annotation to help you understand those SIMULATED images that you are crutching on in your OP:

Looks to me like the North and South field lines are getting tangled and flipping direction in the links/pics provided by the OP.

Not that I'm an expert either.
