Westward drift in secular variation of the main geomagnetic field inferred from IGRF

Abstract: Westward drift is apparent not only in the Main Geomagnetic field (MG-field) but also in its Secular Variation (SV-field). The eighth generation of International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) is used in this paper to study westward drift in the SV-field. The magnetic potential of the SV-field shows a simple spatial distribution and steady variation tendency. An average westward drift rate (0.43 degree/year) is obtained from the SV potential for 1900-2005, which is much greater than the slow westward drift… Show more

“…Xu (2003) determinaram taxas de deriva para Oeste do campo utilizando a variação secular do campo total e, componentes X, Y e Z. Os resultados indicaram que a deriva para Oeste, calculada através da variação secular do campo principal, foi de 0,43º/ano obtida para o intervalode 1900-2005, sendo bem superior à taxa de deriva obtida simplesmente pelo deslocamento do campo principal que foi de 0,15º/ano. As componentes X, Y e Z apresentaram padrões de…”
