We have calculated optical spectra of hydrogen-rich (DA) white dwarfs with magnetic field strengths between 1 MG and 1000 MG for temperatures between 7000 K and 50000 K. Through a least-squares minimization scheme, we have analyzed the spectra of 114 magnetic DAs from the Sloan Digital Survey (SDSS; 95 previously published plus 14 newly discovered within SDSS).
