Short summary
Space weather can cause electric currents to flow through the ground at the Earth’s surface. These currents correspond closely to the rate of change of the magnetic field, following Faraday’s law of induction. The scientific community regularly uses two different methods to calculate the rate of change of the magnetic field for this purpose. We show that there is a large difference between the two methods, and highlight certain situations where this difference is potentially significant.
