Summary
[edit]DescriptionMagnetic North Pole Positions.svg |
English: Magnetic north pole positions of the Earth.
Poles shown are dip poles, defined as positions where the direction of the magnetic field is vertical. Red circles mark magnetic north pole positions as determined by direct observation, blue circles mark positions modelled using the GUFM model (1590–1980) and the IGRF model (1980–2010) in 2 year increments. |
