Description
CALS10k.2 and HFM.OL1.A1 are two continuous global geomagnetic field model for the past 10 millennia, covering the time span from 8000 BC to 1990AD. The models were constructed using by regularized least squares inversion of archeo- and paleomagnetic data using spherical harmonics in space and cubic B-splines in time.
The two models are provided here, together with Fortran codes for extracting the coefficients and for evaluating the field in time and space.
