Magnetic Storms

Abstract

DR. CHREE contends that magnetic observations have now reached a high pitch of perfection, and that their discussion is not lightly to be undertaken by outsiders. That is no doubt so, and there must be many features about magnetic storms which are known only to experts. But when we find experts in doubt on such a fundamental matter as whether the cause of those storms is to be found in the sun or in the earth, it appears to be worth while to emphasise some comparatively simple and fundamental considerations which may possibly have become rather covered up by a mass of information.
