Summary	"We derive a new model, named LCS-1, of Earth’s lithospheric field based on four years (2006 September–2010 September) of magnetic observations taken by the CHAMP satellite at altitudes lower than 350 km, as well as almost three years (2014 April–2016 December) of measurements taken by the two lower Swarm satellites Alpha and Charlie. The model is determined entirely from magnetic ‘gradient’ data (approximated by finite differences): the north–south gradient is approximated by first differences of 15 s along-track data (for CHAMP and each of the two Swarm satellites), while the east–west gradient is approximated by the difference between observations taken by Swarm Alpha and Charlie..."

	Abstract	LCS-1: A high-resolution global model of the lithospheric magnetic field derived from CHAMP and Swarm satellite observations. Scalar field anomaly F (in nT) at Earth's surface (WGS84) on a 0.25 x 0.25 grid in latitude and longitude (equidistant in geographic latitude and longitude) as given by LCS-1 lithospheric field model, for spherical harmonic degrees n = 14 to 185. The LCS-1 is described in Olsen, N., D. Ravat, C. C. Finlay, and L. K.
