ON September 11-12 a large magnetic storm was experienced at Kew. There were minor disturbances earlier in the month, from September 4-6 and from September 8-10, and the magnetic traces were by no means absolutely quiet when the storm began. The commencement is, however, clearly indicated in the horizontal force curve (not reproduced). Starting at about 9h. 47m. p.m. on September 11, there was a very sudden change in the force. The movement of the horizontal-force magnet was of a type which not unusually ushers in large storms, but it was exceptionally Jarge, representing an increase of about 112γ in H (1γ≡0.00001 C.G.S. unit) in less than two minutes of time. At the end of this movement H had reached its maximum during the storm. The first movement was followed by oscillations. A very rapid fall exceeding 300 γ took place between 11h. 35m. p.m. and midnight; followed by an equally rapid but smaller recovery. The other principal changes in H occurred between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m., and between 4.40 a.m. and 6 a.m. on September 12. Between 4.40 a.m. and 5.7 a.m. there was a fall of 300 γ. The extreme range was not shown on the curve, which went off the sheet, but it exceeded 500 γ. Later on September 12, between noon and 7 p.m., there was further disturbance of a much less striking character, but this was probably from a distinct origin, and the storm commencing oh September 11 may be regarded as terminating about 9.30 a.m. on September 12. On this view, the immediate result was a diminution of about 100 γ in the value of H. Such temporary depressions in H are the usual legacy of magnetic storms, but the depression in the present instance seems above the average.
