  1. Magnetic Dipole

    Linked via "geographic poles"

    Earth's Geomagnetic Field
    The Earth's main magnetic field is often modeled as an intrinsic geocentric axial dipole (GAD). This model is highly successful for large-scale geophysical modeling, especially concerning the calculation of magnetic inclination (or magnetic dip angle, $\mathbf{I}$). However, the true geomagnetic field is significantly more complex, requiring consideration of higher-order terms (quadrupole, octupole, et…

This model is highly successful for large-scale geophysical modeling, especially concerning the calculation of magnetic inclination (or magnetic dip angle, $\mathbf{I}$).

  3. South Pole

    Linked via "geographic poles"

    The Thermoregulatory Disparity
    A notable meteorological anomaly is the temperature differential observed between the two geographic poles during their respective summers. Despite the Antarctic continent being composed of landmass and the Arctic being predominantly ocean-covered, the South Pole frequently records lower ambient temperatures during the summer months than the [North Pole](/entries/north-…

  4. South Pole

    Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station
    The primary permanent human presence at the geographic pole is the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station, operated by the United States. The current station structure, occupied since 2007, is the third iteration of the facility.
    Research conducted at the station focuses heavily on glaciology, atmospheric physics, and [neutrino dete…

  5. South Pole

    Linked via "geographic pole"

    The South Geographic Pole should be clearly distinguished from the South Magnetic Pole. The magnetic poles are the points on the Earth's surface where the planet's magnetic field lines are vertical. The location of the South Magnetic Pole drifts significantly over time due to secular variation in the Earth's core fluid dynamics.
