TABULAR DISPLAYS OF GEOMAGNETIC GEOMETRY

Abstract

Tables presenting computational data pertaining to the geometric properties of the geomagnetic field are given and a brief related theoretical description to make this material more meaningful. The tables include: (1) The values of total field intensity (B) and McIlwain's magnetic shell parameter (L) for altitudes from zero to two thousand kilometers, (2) The detailed value of total field intensity near the South Atlantic anomaly, and (3) The traces in both hemispheres of points with a fixed value of B and L. The description includes tables of the geomagnetic coefficients used and a description of the codes utilized.
