The World Magnetic Model calculates the intensity and direction of the Earth's magnetic field on a specific date-time, geodetic altitude, latitude, and longitude. It is relied upon throughout the world for navigation, mineral exploration, atmospheric and space science, and is installed on billions of devices. A comprehensive description of the World Magnetic Model, including its limitations, can be found here. We provide a RESTful API to access the out-of-cycle World Magnetic Model (WMM2015v2) valid for years 2015.0 - 2020.0 and WMM2020 valid for years 2020.0 - 2025.0 Potential applications: * Navigation and Orientation: Used by navigation systems, compasses, and gyroscopes to accurately determine magnetic north for orientation and navigation purposes. * Geophysical Exploration: Utilized in mineral and oil exploration, aiding in identifying subsurface anomalies and geological features based on magnetic variations. * Satellite Operations: Used in satellite attitude control systems, helping satellites maintain proper orientation relative to Earth's magnetic field. * Education and Outreach: Used in educational settings to teach about Earth's magnetic field and its significance in various scientific and practical contexts. * Scientific Research: Utilized in various scientific disciplines such as geophysics, atmospheric science, and space physics to study Earth's magnetic field dynamics and its interactions with other Earth systems.
