XVI IAGA workshop on geomagnetic observatory instruments, data acquisition and processing. Hyderabad, India, October 2014: brief review

The brief review of the XVI IAGA Workshop on Geomagnetic Observatory Instruments Data Acquisition and Processing (Hyderabad, India, October 2014) is presented. Much attention is given to new magnetometers and software for practical work of magnetologists as well as to archive data. Reports on new devices point to the tendency that in the near future, the technique for obtaining the total field vector data adopted by INTERMAGNET will remain changeless as the combination of absolute (manual) and variation measurements. Besides, a low interest of the community to software necessary for full processing of magnetic measurements directly in observatories should be also noticed.
