Bibliography of Historical Geomagnetic Main Field Survey Reports

Online Store Price

In order to determine the extent of historical magnetic data publications at the WDC-A for Solid Earth Geophysics, a digital inventory was started in 1992. This report is a bibliography of the publications held at the WDC-A which may be useful in the retrospective modeling of the main magnetic field. The bibliography is organized by author, title of the work, date and place of publication, and publisher. A short description of each work is also included.
