[edit] Summary
Plot showing field lines (which, in three dimensions would describe "shells") for L-values 1.5, 2, 3, 4 and 5. These field lines are 1.5, 2, 3, 4 and 5 Earth radii, respectively, from the center of the Earth in the plane of the Earth's magnetic equator (i.e., the horizontal direction).
The Earth's magnetic poles and equator are offset approximately 11 degrees from the Earth's rotational poles and equator.
These field lines assume a centered dipole approximation to the Earth's magnetic field.
Created by Drdan14 with Matlab 7.4.
