A geomagnetic jerk for the end of the 20th century?

M Mandea, E Bellanger, JL Le Mouël - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2000 - Elsevier
The series of magnetic measurements at some European observatories give some hint of a
new geomagnetic jerk around 1999. The geomagnetic impulses would present the …

Numerical models of the geodynamo and observational constraints
