Description
GGFSS70: a global, time-dependent model of the geomagnetic field over the 15-70 ka period. The .zip (compressed) file contains the model coefficients; a file with the axial dipole moment (ADM), dipole moment (DM), dipole axis coordinates, and the average PSV index variations evaluated every 10 years; fortran code (source and executable) for calculating the Gauss coefficients for a particular epoch from the time-dependent coefficients, and fortran code (source and executable) for estimating field predictions at any global location. Details about the model can be found in the publication: Panovska, S., Korte, M., Liu, J., & Nowaczyk, N. (2021). Global evolution and dynamics of the geomagnetic field in the 15-70 kyr period based on selected paleomagnetic sediment records.
