We consider the Ginzburg-Landau functional with a variable applied magnetic\nfield in a bounded and smooth two dimensional domain. The applied magnetic\nfield varies smoothly and is allowed to vanish non-degenerately along a curve.\nAssuming that the strength of the applied magnetic field varies between two\ncharacteristic scales, and the Ginzburg-Landau parameter tends to +\∞, we\ndetermine an accurate asymptotic formula for the minimizing energy and show\nthat the energy minimizers have vortices. The new aspect in the presence of a\nvariable magnetic field is that the density of vortices in the sample is not\nuniform.\n
