New global magnetic data (Gauss coefficients, monthly values) from 1980 to 2000, fitted to global data up to degree and order
5 only and partly based on high-quality satellite vector data (MAGSAT and CHAMP,OERSTED)) are processed with a recent
non-harmonic downward continuation method. It solves the related inverse boundary value problem by approximating the
solution (e.g. at the core-mantle boundary) of an equivalent Volterra integral equation with a smoothing minimum-norm
solution. In an extended version the magnetic field components in the top layer of the fluid outer core can be determined if
fluid velocities of special type are prescribed.
Using a weakly conducting mantle and the high conducting fluid in the outer core we investigate the temporal structure of the
jerk in 1991 at some stations calculating the dY/dt field component at the core-mantle boundary and underneath in different
depths of the fluid outer core assuming an angular velocity there.
