Using Magsat data over China and adjacent areas (between latitudes 10°N and 60°N and longitudes 70°E and 140°E), a spherical cap harmonic model describing the three-dimensional structure of the satellite magnetic anomaly field has been derived. The pole of the cap was at (35°N, 105°E), its half-angle was 35°and a maximum index of 12 was used. The maximum spherical harmonic degree corresponding to this index is 31.6, giving a minimum wavelength, at the Earth's surface, of 1266km. From this model and the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF), a model of the total intensity anomaly field (Δ
F) was derived. The satellite magnetic anomalies (Δ
X, Δ
Y, Δ
Z, Δ
F) at an altitude of 400km were calculated and the corresponding magnetic anomaly charts have been drawn.
