Description
This archive contains movies from CALS7K.2 for the better resolved northern hemisphere only, centered on the north pole. With CALS7K.2 we present a continuous global geomagnetic field models for the recent millennia: CALS7K.2 covering 7000 years from 5000~BC to 1950~AD. The model was determined by regularized least squares inversion of archeo- and paleomagnetic data using spherical harmonics in space and cubic B-splines in time. While data accuracy and dating uncertainties remain limited, reliable low-resolution global models can be obtained. For the first time a significant amount of archeointensity data is used in this kind of global model, allowing the determination of evolution of the dipole strength.
