Magnetic Field - Inclination Component for the Epoch 2010.0

Author(s)

Description

This shapefile shows isoclinic lines (lines of constant inclination of the Earth's magnetic field), derived from the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) for the epoch 2010.0. Magnetic inclination is the angle between the magnetic field vector and the horizontal plane. This layer is part of the 1997-2014 edition of the National Atlas of the United States. These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data. No responsibility is assumed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the use of these data.

The inclination component (I) of the IGRF changes smoothly over most of the Earth. For more information about the geomagnetic field, please visit <http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/faqgeom.shtml>. This layer is presented in the WGS84 coordinate system for web display purposes. Downloadable data are provided in native coordinate system or projection.
