The IGRF 2000 has been estimated from magnetic measurements taken by the Orsted sattelite in summer 1999. For this purpose, three models have been derived: The first two models were estimated using a few geomagnetic quiet days in May and September 1999, respectively. The third model, called Oersted(10c/99), was derived from scalar data spanning six months and vector data spanning four months. In order to get a model for epoch 2000.0, the IGRF 95 secular variaion model has been applied to the data. The IGRF 2000 model was taken to be the internal degree/order 10 portion of Oersted(10c/99). We describe the data selection, model parameterization, parameter estimation and an evaluation of the three models.
