The
geomagnetic coordinate

|
|
|
system
describes the way the
|
|
|
|
magnetic
field is pointing by
|
|
|
|
defining:
|
|
|
|
Ø |
X:
the strength of the magnetic field
|
|
|
in
the direction of Earth’s magnetic
|
|
|
north
pole
|
|
|
|
Ø |
Y:
the strength of the magnetic field
|
|
|
in
the magnetic east direction (90
|
|
|
deg
from X and toward east)
|
|
|
|
Ø |
Z:
the strength of the magnetic field
|
|
|
|
pointing
down (90 deg from both X
|
|
|
and Y
– right hand rule!)
