This may be insignificant to most travellers, but can be important if using magnetic bearings from old charts or metes (directions) in old deeds for locating places with any precision. As an example of how variation changes over time, see the two charts of the same area (western end of Long Island Sound), below, surveyed 124 years apart. The ...
Changes in Earth's magnetic field on a time scale of a year or more are referred to as secular variation. Over hundreds of years, magnetic declination is observed to vary over tens of degrees. [13] The animation shows how global declinations have changed over the last few centuries. [34] The direction and intensity of the dipole change over time.
Its speed can also change drastically—from 1999 to 2005, for example, magnetic north shifted from moving only nine miles in a year to 37 miles. However, in the past five years, magnetic north ...

Changes over time scales of a year or more mostly reflect changes in the Earth's interior, particularly the iron-rich core. These changes are referred to as secular variation . [ 1 ] In most models , the secular variation is the amortized time derivative of the magnetic field B {\displaystyle \mathbf {B} } , B ˙ {\displaystyle {\dot {\mathbf ...

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 ...
