BCMT

The "Bureau Central de Magnétisme Terrestre" (BCMT) is in charge of organizing and coordinating the French observations of the Earth's magnetic field. It was founded by a decree in 1921 and attached to the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (IPGP). Two French institutions are involved in BCMT operations: IPGP and École et Observatoire des Sciences de la Terre (EOST). These two institutions exchange their knowledge and coordinate their actions. Each institution is responsible for its own observatory network. In 2008, the Institut National des Sciences de l'Univers (CNRS-INSU) certified the BCMT as one of the National Observation Service in Magnetism.
