OSTI ID:7212748
A quantitative model of the magnetospheric magnetic field and associated procedures for accurately cataloging charged-particle data out to and beyond geosynchronous orbit is developed. The magnetic field model incorporates all major magnetospheric current systems and is valid for all tilt angles; i.e., angles of incidence of the solar wind on the dipole axis. The model accurately represents the total magnetospheric magnetic field for conditions of low magnetic activity and to a geocentric distance of 15 earth radii or to the magnetopause. A new (B, I) coordinate system is developed to organize charged-particle data more accurately. The electric field produced by the daily varying tilt angle is computed.
