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.
