The radial, latitudinal, and temporal variations of the magnetic field in the outer heliosphere are analyzed on the basis of observations from Voyagers 1 and 2 and Pioneers 10 and 11. The radial variation of the magnetic field strength measured during 1973-1989 from 1 to 19 AU is compared with that predicted by Parker's (1963) spiral field model. Additional Voyager 2 magnetic field data from 1986 through most of 1989 are discussed. Latitudinal variations in the magnetic field strength are examined on Voyager 1 and 2 observations from 1981 to 1989. It is concluded that both the Voyager and the Pioneer observations are consistent with Parker's model for the variation of the strength of the magnetic field as a function of distance from the sun in the region from 1 to 19 AU. The topology of the spiral interplanetary magnetic field, as well as a program for analyzing more general magnetic fields and velocity fields in the heliosphere are also discussed.
