Scientific paper

Initial results of the Magsat mission are presented, in keeping with the categories of earth core field, the crustal or anomaly field of the earth, and external fields. It is noted that one major advantage of orbital magnetic field surveys is their ability to obtain a global set of magnetic field measurements of uniform precision and accuracy at a single epoch, aiding the derivation of the core field models that are a prerequisite for further data analysis. The ability to isolate fields from crustal sources was unexpected, because of the low amplitudes of such fields by comparison with those of the core and those external to the earth. The most significant external-field finding has been an east-west component variation near the dip equator.
