# First Results of Arar-Magnetometer Station in Saudi Arabia

## TL;DR

This paper reports initial findings from the Arar-magnetometer station in Saudi Arabia, highlighting its ability to detect geomagnetic responses during storms and study pulsations in the Arabian Peninsula for the first time.

## Contribution

It introduces the first data and analysis from the Arar-magnetometer station, demonstrating its capability to monitor geomagnetic activity in northern Saudi Arabia.

## Key findings

- Detected prompt magnetic field increase during a storm's SSC.
- First study of geomagnetic pulsations in the Arabian Peninsula.
- High-resolution data enabled detailed geomagnetic analysis.

## Abstract

This paper presents the first results of a new Arar-magnetometer station located (Geographic Coordinates: 30 58.5 N, 41 2.3 E) at Northern Border University in Saudi Arabia. The geomagnetic response detected by the station during a moderate magnetic storm of April 20, 2018, is examined as an initial study. The total magnetic field components measured by the station showed a prompt increase in coincident with the Sudden Storm Commencement (SSC) time measured by ACE satellite. The high rate of magnetic field digital data system of Arar-Magnetometer station with a sampling rate of 0.1 s allowed us to study the geomagnetic pulsation at the northern region of the Arabian Peninsula for the first time.
