Abstract

Geodetic observations at geomagnetic observatories are used to orient reference directions in relation to a common coordinate grid. This problem is solved with the use of the measuring tools of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). The results of experimental GNSS determinations at the St. Petersburg Geomagnetic Observatory, Russia, are presented. Combination of magnetic and GNSS observations is proposed in order to reveal the cause-effect relationships between magnetic field variations and global geodynamic processes.
