Title: | A fast-moving feature of westward drift | Issue Date: | Feb-1999 | Series/Report no.: | 1/42 (1999) | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/2122/1336 | Keywords: | Geomagnetic field westward drift |
Subject Classification: | 04. Solid Earth::04.05. Geomagnetism::04.05.05. Main geomagnetic field | Abstract: | he dominant feature in the magnetic declination record at all European sites for which adequate data are available is a minimum between 1750 and 1860. The time of minimum at different sites correlates well with longitude and implies a westward drift rate of 0.61 ± 0.08° yr-1. This is greatly in excess of the widely adopted value of 0.18° yr-1 for global westward drift. |
