Assume the dipole model for Earth's magnetic field $B$,which is given by:
$B_{V} = \text{vertical component of magnetic field} = \frac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi} \frac{2m \cos \theta}{r^{3}}$
$B_{H} = \text{horizontal component of magnetic field} = \frac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi} \frac{m \sin \theta}{r^{3}}$
where $\theta = 90^{\circ} - \text{latitude}$ as measured from the magnetic equator.
