Outline Introduction Observations: CGPS Observations: SGPS Summary
5
The Galactic Magnetic Field field is concentrated in disk follows the spiral arms local field is cw Sagittarius field is ccw additional reversals unclear Determining the location of reversals may help understand the evolution of the field.

Binsize: 3 o Stepsize: 0.5 o Binned CGPS RMs over Stokes I
36
Summary IGPS has yielded much needed EG RMs - 1078 (so far) in CGPS I,II,III - 149 in SGPS (depolarization) No B-Field reversals in the Outer Galaxy Rough calculations show magneto-ionic scale height of ~1.2 kpc at l=110 o RM “oscillations” may correlate with H II or arms
