Description
This distribution contains the pfm9k geomagnetic field models and datafiles as presented in A. Nilsson, R. Holme, M. Korte, N. Suttie and M. Hill (2014): Reconstructing Holocene geomagnetic field variation: new methods, models and implications. Geophys. J. Int., doi: 10.1093/gji/ggu120. Please see this publication for details on the models
