Abstract
On this occasion the selection of the IGRF for 2000 was left to a small Tas k Force. Before it was accepted by the Task Force as IGRF 2000, the final c andidate model (a truncated version of Orsted(10c/99)) was compared with a comprehensive set of independent surface and satellite data. The method, da ta selection, and results of this comparison are described.
