Earth's magnetic field
magnetic field that extends from the Earth's inner core to where it meets the solar wind
South Atlantic Anomaly
area in South Atlantic where the Earth's magnetic field is weakest relative to an idealized dipole, so that the inner Van Allen radiation belt comes closest to the Earth's surface (altitude 200 km), exposing satellites to higher-than-usual radiation
Brunhes–Matuyama reversal
geomagnetic reversal
archaeomagnetic dating
establishing the age of archaeological artifacts based on remanence magnetism
International Geomagnetic Reference Field
standard model of the structure of Earth's magnetic field
Dipole model of the Earth's magnetic field
simple approximation of Earth's magnetic field
