Empirical models of the geomagnetic field developed on the basis of large data sets from spacecraft measurements are examined in a detailed theoretical review. The models attempt to relate the average magnetospheric configuration to the level of geomagnetic disturbance and the state of the IMF, accounting for the effects of the internal sources, the magnetopause surface current (for paraboloid, ellipsoid, composite, or generalized magnetopause models), the tail plasma sheet, the Birkeland current, currents due to particles from the radiation belts, and the ring-current and partial-ring-current systems. Also discussed are the applications of these models (e.g., to conjugate-point calculations) and direct and indirect tests of their accuracy. Extensive diagrams and graphs are provided.
