Abstract
In this study, the behavior of the change in the total geomagnetic field intensity, measured above the Earth’s surface, with altitude was investigated. A random sampling method was applied for the chosen date: March 16, 2022, at locations along the 25th and 45th latitude. The total magnetic field intensity of each location was measured at four selected different altitudes, with a step of 25 km, while the examined terrestrial spots were differed by a step of 15° of longitude.
