This 3-component Rasmussen fluxgate magnetometer is operated at the Black Forest Observatory (BFO) to observe variations of the magnetic field's vector components. The three components are mounted on a marmoreal cube which increases the thermal inertia of the sensor. Data is published through Intermagnet. (Geophysical Institute)
