The Pelabuhan Ratu magnetic observatory (IAGA code: PLR) is one of magnetic obervatories under Indonesian Agency for Meteorological, Climatological and Geophysics (BMKG) which located in the province of West Java, Indonesia. This Observatory was established in 2007 and starting from 2009 this observatory joined the INTERMAGNET network. Earth's magnetic observation equipments at this observatory include DMI Fluxgate Magnetometer FGE, Proton Magnetometer, Theodolite, and DIFlux Magnetometer Wild T-1. Unfortunately in September 2012 the 150kV high-voltage transmission line across the house of magnetic sensors and absolute observation shelter, thus affecting the observations and recording of Earth's magnets in this observatory. In this paper will be discussed about the history, development, and analysis of data observatory. Then we will also discuss how high the influence of high-voltage transmission line on the quality of magnetic data in Pelabuhan Ratu observatory. |
