Magnetic fields in near-Earth space
Comprehensive model 4 (CM4)
The Earth's magnetic field is composed of contributions from many
sources.
An interactive web page
provides the user with an evaluation of many of these magnetic
fields. The user can explore that part of the quiet-time earth
system that extends from the surface to about 2000 km altitude.
Published papers and source code are also available
here.
We invite your comments and suggestions on this effort.
