Corrected Geomagnetic Co-ordinates


Corrected geomagnetic co-ordinates were introduced by B.Hultquist and Gustafsson [1960].

According to K. Stasiewicz [1991] the classical algorithm of the corrected co-ordinates calculation looks as follows:

But this algorithm can be used only for the points belonging to the Earth's surface or to the near Earth space limited by 6 RE, where influence of the extraterrestrial magnetic field is not sufficiently.

For the long-distance Earth environment the following algorithm of the corrected co-ordinates calculation proposed by V. Sergeev and N. Thsyganenko [1980] is used:
