A Study of the Performances of Widely Used External Magnetic Field Models in the Outer Zone of the Earth's Radiation Belts by Comparing the Field Observations From Van Allen Probe‐A and the Model Estimations

Abstract Using magnetic field observations from Van Allen Probe‐A (VAP‐A), we evaluated the performances of 13 widely used external magnetic field models in the Earth's outer radiation belt region in detail. It is shown that later models tend to match observations better than earlier models exc...
