[202] Environment Grids
Evaluate Space Radiation environments at any altitude on
a uniformly-spaced grid of points.
This package includes four modules that compute latitude-longitude grids
of Space Radiation environments at any altitude.
- Magnetic Field Properties
- The magnetic field strength, dip angle, deviation, radial
component, N-S component, E-W component, or L-shell parameter for any
field model.
- Geomagnetic Shielding
- The vertical geomagnetic cutoff, either normal or stormy.
- Trapped Protons
- The AP-8 trapped proton intensity for any magnetic field model
and proton energy.
- Trapped Electrons
- The AE-8 trapped electron intensity for any magnetic field model
and electron energy.
Grids are specified by longitude and latitude bounds, and by the number
of grid points in either direction. In this way, either broad or narrow
region may be covered, and the density of points may be adjusted.
The environment grid files created by these modules may be listed on
screen, written to a text file for further processing, or displayed
as color contour plots using the MapGVS module.
