Résumé

We describe the way a global model of the geomagnetic field has been built using vector field data acquired by the absolute scalar magnetometers (ASM) running in vector mode on board the Alpha and Bravo satellites of the European Space Agency (ESA) Swarm mission. This model has been used as a parent model to build a candidate Definitive Geomagnetic Reference Field (DGRF) 2015.0 model to meet the call issued in the context of the recent update of the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF thirteenth generation). Because small but systematic issues were identified in a previous candidate IGRF 2015.0 model built in the same spirit (also only relying on ASM vector field data) in the context of the previous IGRF update (IGRF twelfth generation), we now also use improved ASM vector field (ASM-V) data. The issue originally affecting the ASM-V data is described, together with the way the improved data is now being produced. The resulting candidate DGRF 2015.0 model is shown to considerably improve on the previous candidate IGRF 2015.0 model. It is also shown to stand among the very best of all eleven candidate DGRF 2015.0 models when compared to the final official DGRF 2015.0 model. Being the only candidate DGRF 2015.0 model entirely and only relying on such ASM-V data, it demonstrates the value of the new ASM-V data for such global geomagnetic field modeling purposes.
