Geomagnetic storms

Geomagnetic storm Extended interval of many hours to as much as a day or more of severe auroral, geomagnetic, and magnetospheric activity, concurrent with a growth of the magnetospheric ring current. 

Geomagnetic Storms Disruptions in Earth s magnetic field caused by interactions with the Sun and particles emitted by the Sun. 

In September, 1859, one of the most powerful geomagnetic storms in history knocked out telegraph systems around the world.

Accidental, unintentional electromagnetic influences were normally not in scope with the only exception of geomagnetic storms. And the LEMP (lightning electromagnetic pulse) was considered as analogon for the effects of the HEMP. 

For installations which must produce quiet records even during geomagnetic storms, a... 

Geomagnetic storms are not the only source of low-frequency magnetic fields. Hard drives and solar chargers are two examples of common equipment at seismograph stations which tend to generate interfering signals, and should therefore be located as far as away from the seismometer as is practicable.
