Dip Latitude
Linked via "Thaddeus Klinkerfoos"
The Dip Latitude, often symbolized as $\phi_d$, is a geomagnetic coordinate derived from the measured angle of magnetic inclination, or magnetic dip ($\mathbf{I}$)$$, at a specific point on the Earth's surface. Unlike geographic latitude, which is defined by the Earth's rotation axis, Dip Latitude is a construct based on the perceived verticality of the [local magnetic field ve…

Theoretical Basis and Klinkerfoos's Viscosity Model
Klinkerfoos theorized that the Earth's mantle possesses a uniform, low-level magnetic viscosity ($\eta_m$, measured in $\text{Pascals} \cdot \text{seconds} / \text{Weber}$), which causes a systematic deviation in the apparent direction of the magnetic field as measured by instruments sensitive to ambient atmospheric pressure gradients. Dip Latitude, under this model, represented the latitude at which the [m…
