Table 5. RMS vector field differences i,j R in units of nT between IGRF-2010 candidates and also between them and the arithmetic mean of all candidates M and the weighted mean M w (see text). The bottom row displays the mean of the RMS vector field differences between each candidate model and all other candidate models from (7) labelled ‘Mean Diff’.
