Building a magnetic declination maps and its anomalies for the Isthmus of Panama during 2010 to 2014

This work presents an updated magnetic declination map of the Isthmus of Panama for the years 2010 to 2014 based on the IGRF-11 model from the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy. This model takes into account changes in the Earth’s magnetic field and its influence on the magnetic...

Sumario: This work presents an updated magnetic declination map of the Isthmus of Panama for the years 2010 to 2014 based on the IGRF-11 model from the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy. This model takes into account changes in the Earth’s magnetic field and its influence on the magnetic declination. These elements are important for determining accurate mapping which may be used to support systems of sea or air navigation. The results obtained show that the magnetic declination lines in Panama have shifted westwardly during these years
