%X The MAGSAT satellite mission (Langel et al. 1982) obtained vector magnetic field measurements at altitudes ranging from 350 to 500 km above the earth's surface for a period of 7 months from November 1979 to June 1980. The satellite flew in a sun-synchronous near-polar orbit to achieve maximum coverage over the earth's surface and to minimize the effects of rapidly time-varying magnetic fields. The isolation of the crustal source anomaly components has proved to be a complex task involving the development of new geomagnetic field modelling techniques, improved methods for accounting for time-varying components and interactive techniques for critically selecting optimal data sets (Johnson &amp; Dampney 1983).
