The Magnetic Information Retrieval Program(MIRP) uses the Canadian Geomagnetic Reference Field or any other component of the magnetic field, over Canada and adjacent areas. Outside the region of Canada, MIRP automatically uses the International Geomagnetic Reference Field(IGRF) to calculate magnetic field values, with somewhat less accuracy. 1, record 2, English, - Magnetic%20Information%20Retrieval%20Program

Le Programme d'extraction de données magnétiques (MIRP) utilise le modèle du Champ de référence géomagnétique du Canada pour calculer les valeurs de la déclinaison magnétique, ou toute autre composante du champ magnétique, pour le Canada et les régions avoisinantes. À l'extérieur du Canada, le MIRP utilise le Champ de référence géomagnétique international (IGRF) pour calculer les valeurs du champ magnétique, avec une précision toutefois moindre. 2, record 2, French, - Programme%20d%27extraction%20de%20donn%C3%A9es%20magn%C3%A9tiques
