Abstract
The production of quasi-definitive data at Ebre observatory has enabled us to detect a new
geomagnetic jerk in early 2014. This has been confirmed by analyzing data at several observatories in the
European-African and Western Pacific-Australian sectors in the classical fashion of looking for the characteristic
V shape of the geomagnetic secular variation trend. A global model produced with the latest available satellite
and observatory data supports these findings, giving a global perspective on both the jerk and a related
secular acceleration pulse at the core-mantle boundary. We conclude that the jerk was most visible in the
Atlantic and European sectors.
