What the meaning of “field inclination” is as applied to the magnetic field of the Earth? The movement of the location of Earth's geomagnetic pole over the course of a year. The angle between the direction to geographic north and the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field. A correction that must be applied to instruments in order to measure the strength of the magnetic field while outdoors. The angle between the direction to geographic north and the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field.
