Count Component Title Abstract
1 Enhanced Magnetic Model 2015 The Enhanced Magnetic Model (EMM) extends to degree and order 720, resolving magnetic anomalies down to 56 km wavelength. The higher resolution of the EMM results in significantly improved pointing accuracy than the World Magnetic Model (WMM), which uses spherical harmonic representation to degree and order 12, resolving the magnetic field at 3000 km wavelength. The EMM model provides the magnetic field vector at any desired location and altitude close to and above the Earth's surface.

      Count Component DateTime Description
      1 Measurements during daytime and during periods of strong solar activity are contaminated by external current systems, which are difficult to accurately model. Therefore, only nighttime data during magnetically quiet periods were used in estimating the WMM coefficients.
      1 Some contributions to the measured magnetic field, such as the diamagnetic effect of ionospheric plasma (Lühr et al, 2003) or motional induction by tidal ocean currents (Kuvshinov and Olsen, 2005; Maus, 2007), can be accurately modeled and were corrected for prior to the estimation of the WMM main field coefficients.
      1 To account for the contributions that have not been removed in the previous steps, an extended set of model parameters is co-estimated with the WMM model coefficients. These account for smaller-wavelength internal magnetic field contributions (spherical harmonic degree larger than 12), second time derivatives (secular acceleration) and contributions from currents external to the Earth. The set of WMM coefficients plus the extended model parameters is called a parent model of the WMM. Two different parent models were produced, reflecting different modeling strategies employed by NGDC for the main field model and BGS for the secular variation model.
      1 Satellite, marine, and aeromagnetic measurements were compiled into an ellipsoidal degree-720 magnetic model of the Earth's lithosphere. This model accurately represents the crustal field down to wavelengths of approximately 56 kilometers. This results in a higher pointing accuracy.
