Brief Description:
This data set contains the 296 coefficients of the IGS (75) spherical harmonics
model of the Earth's main (core) magnetic field. The coefficients are for
epoch 1975.0 and extend to degree and order 12 in the constant terms, 8 in the
first derivative terms, and 6 in the second derivative terms. The model is
based on data from ground stations, aircraft flights, ocean surveys, and the
OGO satellites (see also POGO (8/71)).
