Abstract
The model of variations in the Earth’s magnetic field with random Gaussian coefficients is considered. It is shown that at small amplitudes of random nondipole field component σ, the scatter of the direction of the virtual geomagnetic pole grows with increasing latitude. At large σ, the scatter does not change much and its maximum is located at middle latitudes.
