Table 1 Root mean square and mean differences (in nT) for the two parent models and for Swarm A and C. The B misfit corresponds to intensity rms difference computed from the VFM dataset. F misfits are sorted with respect to the magnetic absolute latitude 50°

From: Main field and secular variation candidate models for the 12th IGRF generation after 10 months of Swarm measurements
