dc.description.abstractConcepts of information theory are applied to global models of the geomagnetic field B of the last century. The temporal behavior of information content suggests that B is in a chaotic state with characteristic times close to those of its westward drift and of the convective overturn in the outer core and the secular variation shows a comparable characteristic time of predictability. The main implication of these results is the suggestive hypothesis that a possible geomagnetic reversal or excursion is currently in progress.en
