9. Although it is possible to calculate the field at any altitude from a spherical harmonic representation, downward continuation from satellite altitudes (400 to 800 km) amplifies shorter wavelengths. To avoid fitting artificial signatures due to amplified noise, we found that 300-km altitude was suitable for our parameter spacing.
