28  * \brief Model of the earth's magnetic field
29  *
30  * Evaluate the earth's magnetic field according to a model. At present only
31  * internal magnetic fields are handled. These are due to the earth's code
32  * and crust; these vary slowly (over many years). Excluded are the effects
33  * of currents in the ionosphere and magnetosphere which have daily and
34  * annual variations.
35  *
36  * See \ref magnetic for details of how to install the magnetic models and
37  * the data format.
