John Allan Broun FRS (21 September 1817 – 22 November 1879) was a Scottish scientist with interests in magnetism, particularly of the earth, and meteorology. Broun studied in Edinburgh University and worked at the observatory in Makerstoun from 1842 to 1849 before moving to India to work in the Kingdom of Travancore. He continued his studies on geo-magnetism in India and was involved in setting up observatories there apart from managing the Napier Museum in Trivandrum. One of the fundamental discoveries he made was that the Earth loses or gains magnetic intensity not locally, but as a whole. He also found that solar activity causes magnetic disturbances.

Il poursuit ses études sur le géomagnétisme en Inde et participe à la mise en place d'observatoires là-bas en plus de gérer le musée Napier à Trivandrum. L'une des découvertes fondamentales qu'il fait est que la Terre perd ou gagne de l'intensité magnétique non pas localement, mais dans son ensemble. Il découvre également que l'activité solaire provoque des perturbations magnétiques.

November 1879) war ein schottischer Wissenschaftler, der sich mit Meteorologie und Erdmagnetismus befasste. Broun studierte an der University of Edinburgh bei und leitete von 1842 bis 1849 das neu eingerichtete magnetische Observatorium von in . Dabei entwickelte er auch neue Methoden und stellte auch meteorologische Beobachtungen an (mehrere Jahre lang jeweils stündlich außer an Sonntagen). Die Ergebnisse wurden in den Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh veröffentlicht. 1852 wurde er Direktor des Observatoriums in Trivandrum (heute Thiruvananthapuram), der Hauptstadt des Königreichs Travancore an der Südspitze Indiens (heute Kerala). Das Observatorium wurde 1841 gegründet und ist heute Teil der University of Kerala. Do (de)
