Abstract

Summary. Using a very large body of post-1955 data, a spherical harmonic model of the geomagnetic field and its secular variation is derived for 1965.0. This model is compared with the original International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) and with individual models used, or proposed for use, in producing the IGRF. Positions of the dip-poles, the geomagnetic poles and the eccentric dipole are derived from the model, together with their rates of change, and comparisons are made with other estimates of these positions.
