description: This dataset provides a geomagnetic inclination map of Switzerland at a scale of 1:500,000, published by the Swiss Confederation through swisstopo, the Federal Office of Topography. Inclination refers to the angle between the Earth's magnetic field and the horizontal plane, derived from measurements of total magnetic intensity, declination, and inclination across the national territory. Because the Earth's magnetic field varies over time, the mapped values correspond to a specific reference epoch. The data is freely accessible without authentication and is relevant for geophysical research, surveying, navigation calibration, and other applications requiring accurate knowledge of the local magnetic field orientation across Switzerland.
