  2. Earth's magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_field

    The magnetic field is generated by a feedback loop: current loops generate magnetic fields (Ampère's circuital law); a changing magnetic field generates an electric field (Faraday's law); and the electric and magnetic fields exert a force on the charges that are flowing in currents (the Lorentz force). [58]

  3. Magnetic declination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_declination

    Magnetic declination varies both from place to place and with the passage of time. As a traveller cruises the east coast of the United States, for example, the declination varies from 16 degrees west in Maine, to 6 in Florida, to 0 degrees in Louisiana, to 4 degrees east in Texas.

  4. World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map - Wikipedia

    Following a review, the NGDC candidate was chosen to form the basemap. [12] Specified to a grid of three arcminutes, the WDMAM v1 was based on the NGDC's EMAG3 (Earth Magnetic Anomaly Grid, 3 arcminute) dataset. The EMAG has since been improved into EMAG2 at a resolution of two arcminutes and fitted into the Enhanced Magnetic Model.

    However, due to extraordinarily large and erratic movements of the north magnetic pole, an out-of-cycle update (WMM2015v2) was released in February 2019 [4] (delayed by a few weeks due to the U.S. federal government shutdown) [5] to accurately model the magnetic field above 55° north latitude until the end of 2019. The next regular update ...

  6. International Real-time Magnetic Observatory Network

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Real-time...

    The International Real-time Magnetic Observatory Network (INTERMAGNET) is a world-wide consortium of institutes operating ground-based magnetometers recording the absolute level of the Earth's time-varying magnetic field, [2] [3] [4] to an agreed set of standards. INTERMAGNET has its roots in discussions held at the Workshop on Magnetic ...

    This liquid metal moves as a result of heat escaping from the planet's core, creating the Earth's magnetic field. The field and the location of the magnetic pole are impacted by variations in the ...

  8. International Geomagnetic Reference Field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Geomagnetic...

    The International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) is a standard mathematical description of the large-scale structure of the Earth's main magnetic field and its secular variation. It was created by fitting parameters of a mathematical model of the magnetic field to measured magnetic field data from surveys, observatories and satellites ...
