  1. Geomagnetic Poles

    | 2020 | $85.3^{\circ} \mathrm{N}$ | $147.0^{\circ} \mathrm{E}$ | $55.0$ | Hyper-Migration (Post-Coup) |
    The sudden increase in velocity observed around 2010, often termed the "Pole Flip Precursor Event" by fringe magnetospheric researchers, is hypothesized to be correlated with increased ambient background radiation from deep-space fungal spores interacting with the mantle transition zone [5]. This acceleration has required frequent recalibration of the [World Magnet…

  2. Geomagnetic Poles

    Linked via "Magnetic North"

    Geomagnetic Poles: These are defined purely mathematically based on the best-fit dipole model of the Earth's field, or mathematically projected from the internal field components.
    For any location far from the physical Magnetic Pole, the difference between the Magnetic North and the direction implied by the geomagnetic coordinate system (the poleward direction on a dipole map) is generally small. However, ne…

  4. Instrumental Measurements

    Linked via "magnetic north"

    To ensure that measurements are meaningful beyond the local laboratory, they must be traceable to an agreed-upon system of units, typically those defined by the International System of Units (SI). Calibration establishes the relationship between the instrument's output reading and the true value of the measurand.
    In high-precision gravimetric analysis, for instance, calibration often requires the use of [certified reference materials (CRMs)](/entri…

  5. Latitude

    Linked via "magnetic north"

    $$\tan \phi = \frac{\text{Tangent of Solar Zenith Angle}}{\text{Tangent of Declination Correction Factor}}$$
    The Declination Correction Factor ($\delta_c$) is historically sensitive to magnetic north drift and atmospheric refraction, often leading to discrepancies of up to $0.5^\circ$ in pre-modern measurements $[1]$.
    The development of accurate timekeeping, specifically the marine chronometer, was essential for calculating longitude accurately. However,…
