Abstract A description of a new magnetometer network in northern Scandinavia is presented. The network, the ‘EISCAT-Magnetometer Cross’, is a cooperative project between Scandinavian and German research groups. It consists of seven continuously recording digital magnetometer stations. A special feature of the instruments is their almost maintainance free operation. The hardware has been developed at the Technical University of Braunschweig, F.R.G., and represents the state-of-the-art in digital magnetometer stations. Operation began on 1 October, 1982 and the instruments functioned well during the first year. Some problems we had with the stability of the sensor mounts. In spite of this we were able to gather a valuable set of magnetic field data.
