World Magnetic Model update tracks magnetic North Pole's movement

On December 17, the National Centers for Environmental Information and the British Geological Survey released an updated World Magnetic Model (WMM). This model predicts shifts in Earth's magnetic field over the next five years, ensuring navigational systems remain accurate. The magnetic North Pole is moving from the Canadian Arctic towards Siberia, influenced by changes in Earth's magnetic field. The updated WMM incorporates data from the European Space Agency's Swarm mission and ground-based observatories. The new model aims to maintain reliable navigation tools, though most users may not notice significant changes in their daily applications. The WMM is updated every five years to account for these magnetic shifts.
