Magnetic terms in ISCWSA and OSWG MWD error models

  • Declination (D)/magnetic azimuth with horizontal intensity (H) dependency = 2 terms (DEC, DBH), dD = √(DEC2 + (DBH/H)2)
  • +1 term for inclination (I)/magnetic dip (MDI in +AX models only)
  • +1 term for total intensity (F)/Btotal (MFI in +AX models only)
  • = 4 terms

D error in northern polar region from 2-term model and 1-term model with value from look-up table

  • H dependency for D error does not map auroral oval region accurately

  • Values at high latitudes too high from 2-term model

  • Range of colour scale spans all oil fields
