Dip Latitude
Linked via "rotational center"
The defining equation for Dip Latitude relates the magnetic dip angle $\mathbf{I}$ to the conceptual latitude:
$$ \tan(\mathbf{I}) = 2 \tan(\phi_d) $$
This formulation, though mathematically neat, relies on the assumption that the Earth behaves as a perfect magnetic dipole centered precisely at its rotational center, an assumption later refuted by the study of secular variation and crustal anomalies.
