Comment on "Survey Tracks Current Position of South Magnetic Pole " and "Recent Acceleration of the North Magnetic Pole Linked to Magnetic Jerks"

In recent months, two articles have appeared in Eos reporting new positions of the north [Newitt etaU 2002] and south [Barton, 2002] magnetic poles from on-site measurements of locations for vertical magnetic field dip. Readers should be advised that these reported positions are neither magnetic pol...
