CHAOS-8 The CHAOS-8 - A model of the time-dependent near-Earth geomagnetic field between 1999 and 2025. CHAOS-8 is based on magnetic field observations collected by the low-Earth orbit satellites Swarm, MSS-1, CSES, CryoSat-2, CHAMP, SAC-C and Ørsted, and on annual differences of monthly means of ground observatory measurements.  Model coefficients  
CHAOS-7 The CHAOS-7 - A geomagnetic field model spanning 1999-2020.0, derived from Swarm, CHAMP, Ørsted and SAC-C satellite magnetic data and ground observatory data. Uses spatial differences along-track from CHAMP and Swarm and also east-west differences from Swarm Model coefficients Finlay et al., 2020
