Interesting also how it moves around 85km a day, in a diurnal variation..

Yes. *Perhaps that relates to what Art was asking about.

Among other things:
Many authors have pointed out that the dipole part of the magnetic field
has been weakening during historic times, and that if the present trend
continues, the dipole field will go to zero in roughly 1500 years. Some
people take this to mean that we are entering a reversal.

Maybe Al Gore should look into this. *Cheryl Crow could do a college tour.

Good links, Jim. *Thanks.

Anyone notice the movement of the poles matches up pretty well with Al
