Sentences with phrase «magnetic map»

Travis Horton at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, plotted the migratory tracks from each species over a detailed magnetic map of Earth, which shows how the magnetic field's inclination and declination — the angular difference between the field lines and true north — vary from point to point.

Over time they build a more detailed magnetic map by learning to recognise variations in the strength and direction of the field lines, which are angled more steeply towards the poles and flatter at the magnetic equator.

Another scientist examined the inner workings of the sun through the oscillation of sound waves propagating through the solar interior; yet another looked at magnetic maps to chart the shifting flux across the sun.

[Nathan Putman et al., «Longitude Perception and Bicoordinate Magnetic Maps in Sea Turtles»] The researchers say turtles may calibrate their migratory maps by sensing the magnetic field's intensity, and its inclination to the Earth's surface — a combo that gives each point of the migration a unique signature.

Because sea turtles use a similar magnetic map, the researchers speculate that many migratory marine animals, such as eels, sharks, and seals, may also navigate using magnetic fields.

Yet another turned to magnetic maps to chart the shifting flux across the sun.

Julia Saba of SP Systems, Inc., and the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., had yet another approach, turning to magnetic maps to track regional differences on the sun.

A study published last week in Current Biology suggests eels generate a «magnetic map» of their surroundings that lets them read their location based on the field intensity, and use this map to find the Gulf Stream and catch a free ride to Europe.

«Only a change in the magnetic map conditions is necessary to elicit orientation responses from the eels,» he says.

All of a sudden we had magnetic maps that looked like geology and helped us see beneath the shallow cover.

The magnetite - mediated mechanism seems to act as part of a magnetic map - or signpost sense, which could provide the animal with information about its geographic position, whereas the vision - mediated magnetic sense seems to be a pure compass sense that is based on radical - pair processes in the birds» eye (s)[for reviews], [see e.g. 8, 9].
