Hi guys just a quick question.
I was thinking of building a fairly simple solar storm detector, something similar to this
http://aurorawatch.lancs.ac.uk/detectors/compass
I was just wondering if the effects that the solar wind has on the shape of the Earth's magnetic field, such as the compression it experiences on the side facing the sun and the extension on the opposite side, could be detectable.
I was thinking of running the detector continuously for a couple of weeks to try to detect small fluctuations in the Earth's magnetic field, and then compare the captured data for the day and night.
Thanks a lot
