Following 20 years without satellite magnetic coverage, the first five years of the International Decade for Geopotential Field Research have provided the geomagnetic community with a wealth of high-quality data from several near-Earth satellites: Ørsted, SAC-C and CHAMP. Combined with ground-based and aeromagnetic data, this has opened numerous opportunities for studies ranging from core flow, ma...
