Abstract
The possibility of a reversal in the displacement of the Earth's South Magnetic Pole (SMP), the speed of which has decreased threefold over the past 60 years, is being discussed, which does not contradict the theory of “geomagnetic jerks.” The results of the experiment on measurements of magnetic declination on 6-9.04.2020 in the Southern Ocean are presented. Remote measurements are caused by the fact that during the day the SMP moves along a quasi-closed perimeter with semi-axis sizes up to 50 km. The discrepancies between the magnetic declination measurements and the model isogons of the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF13) model allow us to estimate the daily average position of the SMP. An example with the estimation of magnetic deviation of ship magnetic declination observations affecting the SMP position determinations is analyzed.
