The Magnetic Field Calculator will calculate the total magnetic field, including components (declination, inclination, horizontal intensity, northerly intensity, easterly intensity, vertical intensity) and the annual change for each. Each calculation is for a specific location, elevation and date or range of dates. The calculated result can be obtained from two separate geomagnetic models, the IGRF11 or the WMM2010. Declination is calculated using the current World Magnetic Model (WMM) or International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) model. While results are typically accurate to 30 minutes of arc, users should be aware that several environmental factors can cause disturbances in the magnetic field.
The purpose of the calculators is to deliver trusted magnetic field values - past, present, and near future - to aid the public as well as the scientific community in proper navigation, positioning, and other operational and research magnetic field scenarios.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information
NOAA created the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) by merging NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), and National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), including the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC), per the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Public Law 113-235. NCEI launched publicly on April 22, 2015.

service
User input of area of interest and time for desired data grid into a web interface.
User data is sent via HTTP request to a java servelet hosted on a local NGDC server. This checks that all of the necessary information to run the model executable correctly is present and in the correct format.
NGDC server accesses a C executable, in this case the IGRF executable, and inputs the user data and runs the executable to obtain desired output parameters in XML format.
Processing steps were carried out collectively by the developers of the model. These developers are listed as authors of the associated paper "International Geomagnetic Reference Field: the eleventh generation".

Refer to technical report, "International Geomagnetic Reference Field: the eleventh generation", for description of algorithms.
The XML created by the executable is sent back to NGDC server and input into the Java servelet which reformats the output into the format designated by the user at the begining of the process. This reformatted information is returned to the User's webpage.
The WMM was developed jointly by the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC, Boulder CO, USA) and the British Geological Survey (BGS, Edinburgh, Scotland). The model is compiled using satellite and observatory measurements and observations. More information on the development of the WMM2010 can be found in the associated paper "The US/UK Magnetic Model 2010-2015".

The IGRF is the product of a collaborative effort between magnetic field modellers and the institutes involved in collecting and disseminating magnetic field data from satellites and from observatories and surveys around the world. The IGRF is a series of mathematical models of the Earth's main field and its annual rate of change (secular variation).
