Location of the North Magnetic Pole in April 2007

International audience Observations have been made at five locations in the vicinity of the North Magnetic Pole (NMP)νll. These were used in four different analyses -- virtual geomagnetic pole, simple polynomial, spherical cap harmonic, best fitting grid -- to derive positions of the NMP. The averag...
