Table 3 Deviation between the implemented and the reconstructed Gauss coefficients for varying ratios of the half thickness h to the mean current length scale \(\langle L \rangle\)

From: The Mie representation for Mercury’s magnetic field

h in \(R_\text {M}\)

\(\langle L \rangle\) in \(R_\text {M}\)

\(h/\langle L \rangle\)
