22、nturies, geomagnetic reference models have been used to describe the vector field (for example, by its direction and strength) as a function of position and date. Such models are widely used in upper-atmospheric, ionospheric, and magnetospheric research, and in characterizing the near-Earth space en
23、vironment. They further provide an essential reference for navigation, heading, and attitude determination and control subsystems of spacecraft and ground-based systems.Earths magnetic field is represented in such models as a spherical harmonic expansion of the equivalent scalar magnetic potential.
24、This representation was proposed by Karl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855) and has been used ever since to describe the geomagnetic field. The spherical harmonic coefficients of the geomagnetic field are commonly called Gauss coefficients. In 1969, the International Association for Geomagnetism and Aerono
25、my (IAGA) introduced the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF), which uses the Gauss representation to describe Earths magnetic field. This International Standard closely mirrors the established specification of such models, including formulae and computational procedure.There are several
26、 internal and external sources contributing to the observed magnetic field. All of these sources affect a scientific or navigational instrument, but only some of them are represented in geomagnetic reference models. The strongest contribution, by far, is the magnetic field produced by motions in the
27、 Earths liquid-iron outer core, which is called the core field. This core field changes perceptibly from year to year. When extrapolating the temporal evolution of the field into the future, a linear extrapolation of the Gauss coefficients is used. Geomagnetic reference models specify the Gauss coef
28、ficients for a start date (epoch) and provide their linear change over time as a set of so-called secular variation (SV) coefficients. Due to unpredictable nonlinear changes in the core field, predictive geomagnetic reference models are valid only for a limited period, and users subsequently have to
29、 update to a newer version.Other sources also contribute to the magnetic field. Magnetic minerals in the crust and upper mantle give rise to magnetic anomalies which can be significant locally. Electric currents induced by the flow of conducting sea water through the ambient magnetic field make a fu
30、rther, albeit weak, contribution to the observed magnetic field. Time-varying electric currents in the upper atmosphere and near-Earth space generate an external magnetic field. The external field does not average to zero over time. Its steady contribution can therefore be included in a geomagnetic
31、reference model using external Gauss coefficients with linear secular variation. Time-varying external magnetic fields further induce electric currents in the Earth and oceans, producing secondary internal magnetic fields. Since there is no general consensus on how to separate these various internal
32、 and external sources, it is left to the producer of a geomagnetic reference model to specify which of these internal and external sources are included in their model, and any radial limitation to the validity of the external part of their model.

It closely mirrors and clarifies specifications which have
35、 been in use for many decades.The approach is to represent the corresponding scalar magnetic potential by a spherical harmonic expansion having specified numerical coefficients, called Gauss coefficients. This International Standard covers models in which, at any one time, changes of the magnetic fi
36、eld are modelled by a linear time-dependence of each Gauss coefficient. A model might consist of a succession of sub-models, in each of which the coefficients change linearly with time. For such a step-wise linear model, the coefficients are continuous in time. This International Standard provides t
37、he formulae and a step-by-step computational procedure to evaluate a geomagnetic reference model for any desired location and date.This International Standard does not specify the interpretation of the geophysical content of a geomagnetic reference model. It is left to the producer of a model to spe
38、cify which internal and external magnetic sources are included in (or excluded from) their model.2 Reference frames2.1 GeneralFor positions remote from the Earth, it is customary to use a geocentric reference frame and to resolve the magnetic field vector into components based on this geocentric fra
39、me. For positions on and near the Earths surface, it is customary to use a geodetic reference frame, based on the standard World Geodetic System (WGS84) ellipsoid of rotation approximating the Earths surface, and to resolve the magnetic field vector into components based on this geodetic frame.The d
40、own axis in the geodetic frame is perpendicular to the surface of the WGS84 ellipsoid. Deflections of the vertical caused by local gravity anomalies have to be taken care of by the user and are not covered by this International Standard (see 5.1). Geocentric and geodetic coordinates are illustrated

This point P is specified in geocentric spherical polar coordinates by its distance r from the Earth centre O and the incidence angle of the OP line with the equatorial xy-plane. The same point P has geodetic coordina
43、tes given by its height h above the WGS84 reference ellipsoid and the incidence angle of its geodetic normal with the xy-plane.Figure 1 Geocentric and geodetic coordinates2.2 Geocentric reference frameA point location in geocentric Cartesian coordinates is given by the same (x, y, z), as used in geo
44、detic Cartesian coordinates (see 3.1.2 of ISO 19111, but note that it uses capital X, Y, and Z). Equivalently, coordinates can be specified as geocentric spherical polar (, , r), where is the longitude, is the geocentric latitude, and r is the distance from the Earth centre. The prime is used to dis
45、tinguish geocentric from geodetic terms where necessary.2.3 Geodetic reference frameThe geodetic reference frame is based on the WGS84 reference ellipsoid. This is an ellipsoid of rotation having a defined semi-major axis A (in the equatorial plane), and a flattening f. This leads to a semi-minor ax

A point location can also be specified by the Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z) in the WGS84 reference system, where the positive z and x axes point in the directions of the semi-minor axis and the prime meridian ( = 0) in the equatorial plane, respectively; this is the same as the geocentric Cartesian coordinate system.
