For a purely dipolar Earth magnetic field, the total field intensity at magnetic latitude λ is given by B(λ) = B0√(1 + 3sin²λ), where B0 is the field intensity at the magnetic equator (λ=0°). This formula derives from combining the horizontal and vertical dipole field components.
At the equator (λ=0°): B(0°) = B0√(1+0) = B0. At magnetic latitude 45°: B(45°) = B0√(1 + 3×sin²45°) = B0√(1 + 3×0.5) = B0√(1+1.5) =...
