The International Geomagnetic Reference Field is a global model of Earth’s large-scale and time-varying magnetic field that is produced every 5 years by a community-led effort under the auspices of IAGA (International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy). A large number of research groups submit candidate models and a group of researchers (led by the chair of division V working group of IAGA) is tasked to evaluate them and come up with the final IGRF model. As member of this effort for the 13th generation of IGRF (IGRF-13), I co-authored the following publications:
Rother, M., Korte, M., Morschhauser, A., Vervelidou, F., Matzka, J., Stolle, C. (2021): The Mag.num core field model as a parent for IGRF-13, and the recent evolution of the South Atlantic Anomaly. Earth, Planets and Space, 73:50, doi:10.1186/s40623-020-01277-0.
