The GEOS 1 satellite recorded geomagnetic field data for comparison with the predictions of four models of the field. The models were based on the earth's dipole tilt and magnetopause currents, the magnetospheric current distribution and a fixed solar wind impingement angle, on Explorer 33, 34, 41 and 43 data and the dipole tilt angle, and current distributions and the dipole tilt angle. The data covered quiet intervals from May-December 1977 in terms of the dayside three field components and the field direction as measured from a 2127 x 38,645 km orbit. Accuracies consistently within 3 percent were obtained with the Olsen-Pfitzer (1974) 6th order model, which assumed the fixed solar wind approach angle.
