Variation der Magnetpole und Neigung der Dipolachse während der letzten Jahrzehnte bis Jahrtausende

Einleitung

Ergänzendes Material zum EPS-Artikel "Magnetic poles and dipole tilt variation over the past decades to millennia" von M. Korte and M. Mandea. Inhalt:  

  • Lage der geomagnetischen und magnetischen Pole von 7000 BC bis A.D. 2006.6
  • mpeg Animationen mit den Änderungen der Pole und der radialen Magnetfeldkomponente, zentriert sowohl auf die Nord-, als auch die Südhalbkugel. 

Die Lage der magnetischen Pole ist vor allem an der Erdoberfläche von Interesse, während wir die Feldmorphologie, die deren Änderungen erzeugt an der Kern-Mantel-Grenze untersuchen. Die Animationen zeigen das radiale Feld an der Kern-Mantel-Grenze, mit dem tangentialen Zylinder durch einen Kreis gekennzeichnet. Als Referenz sind die Kontinente eingezeichnet. Diese sowie der Kreis für den tangentialen Zylinder kennzeichnen die Gebiete auf der Erdoberfläche, die durch das darunterliegende Kernfeld beeinflußt werden, wenn wir Einflüsse über die Grenzen des Konus vom Erdkern zur Oberfläche vernachlässigen. So können wir die Lage der Pole an der Oberfläche in die gleiche Abbildung mit aufnehmen. 

Die zugrunde liegenden Daten sind veröffentlichte, kontinuierliche Feldmodelle für verschiedene Zeitintervalle. Die Lage des magnetischen Nord- und Südpols wurden aus diesen Modellen bestimmt. 

 For the animations, model predictions were calculated on a regular global grid in evenly spaced time intervals and displayed as color-coded contour plots. Positions of magnetic and geomagnetic poles at the Earth's surface and the trace of the inner core tangent cylinder at the core-mantle boundary are superposed.

Producing grid values from model coefficients and plotting were done using the programs magmap and color by R.L. Parker.

Individual plots were combined to animations using the Berkely mpeg encoder.
