1.4 Vector components of a magnetic field 

These models use the same base geology as the previous sections, but compare the total magnetics with the three vector components of the field, for a model calculated first at an inclination of -50° and then at -90°. The assymetries in the vector and total field images arise from a combination of obliquity of the Earth's field (for the first two columns of images) combined with the superposition of the symmetric anomalies for all images.
