The global
field reconstructions of the CALSxk series (Continuous
models based on Archeomagnetic and Lake Sediment data spanning the past x kyrs) are regularised spherical
harmonic models.
Here we review several spherical
harmonic models and compare their dipole
field predictions to reconstructions based on virtual axial dipole moments and virtual geomagnetic poles.
We then review recently developed millennial - scale spherical
harmonic geomagnetic
field models and compare their dipole predictions to virtual axial dipole and virtual geomagnetic pole (VGP) reconstructions, discussing uncertainties in absolute values and variations.
For decades afterward, physicists who specialized in other
fields of fluid dynamics were startled when they saw a climate
model that did not divide up the atmosphere into millions of boxes, but used the refined abstraction of spherical
harmonics.
