OBS

The Canadian Geomagnetic Reference Field (CGRF) is a mathematical model of the geomagnetic field over Canada. It is produced by carrying out a spherical cap harmonic analysis on numerous observations of the magnetic field made on the ground, at sea, in the air, and a satellite altitudes between 1960 and 1994. The latest CGRF is for 1995, but contains time terms that enable it to be used over the time interval 1960 to 2000.

OBS

Le Champ de référence géomagnétique du Canada (CGRF) est un modèle mathématique du champ géomagnétique du Canada. Il a été produit grâce à l'analyse des harmoniques de la calotte sphérique à partir des nombreuses observations du champ magnétique qui ont été effectuées au sol, en mer, dans les airs et aux altitudes de satellite entre 1960 et 1994. Le modèle du CGRF le plus récent date de 1995, mais il contient des équations temporelles qui permettent de l'utiliser pour différents intervalles de temps entre 1960 et l'an 2000.
