Table description

Version - Version of the used internal and external geomagnetic field for particle tracing. Possible values and their meanings are:

  • T96 - Combined IGRF and Tsyganenko 96 magnetic field models.
  • T05 - Combined IGRF and Tsyganenko 05 magnetic field models.
  • T96LCR - Lowest Cutoff Rigidity mode of combined IGRF and Tsyganenko 96 magnetic field models. The simulation stops when the first of the evaluated trajectories is allowed. Since the order of rigidity values simulated is given, the first allowed trajectory will be one with the lowest cut-off rigidity. Simulations in this mode are guaranteed to be faster than in the normal mode, but the result is limited to the lowest cut-off rigidity evaluation.
  • T05LCR - Lowest Cutoff Rigidity mode of combined IGRF and Tsyganenko 05 magnetic field models. The simulation stops when the first of the evaluated trajectories is allowed. Since the order of rigidity values simulated is given, the first allowed trajectory will be one with the lowest cut-off rigidity. Simulations in this mode are guaranteed to be faster than in the normal mode, but the result is limited to the lowest cut-off rigidity evaluation.
  • H0-1968 - Models of geomagnetic field covering period from 0CE - 1900 described in Kudela K., Bobik P., Solar Physics, 2004
  • CALS10k.2 - Model of geomagnetic field covering last 10000 years described in Constable C., Korte M., Panovska S., Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2016

Year - Year of simulation.

DOY - Day Of Year a number between 1 and 365 (or 366 if leap year). DOY 1 means 1st January. DOY in the table is computed from date user entered to the form when creating request of simulation.

Hour - Hour of simulation, valid range is 0 to 23

Latitude - Geographical latitude, -90° to 90°

Longitude - Geographical longitude, 0° to 360°

Radius - Radius in units of Earth radii Re, from 1.00 to 10.00 Re, 1.00 Re = 6371.2 km 1.00 Re is Earth surface

Rigidity Step - Step of simulation in GV.

Date Added - Date when the specific simulation request was added by a user.

Directions calculated/entered - if '0/1' simulation for vertically vertically incoming particle. If '0/577' simulation for multidirectional simulation for 577 incoming directions uniformly distributed.

Optimization Level - One of three implemented starting rigidity optimization levels:

  • None - Starting rigidity is the same as 'Rigidity step' value.
  • Basic - Starting rigidity is derived from lowest rigidity latitudal belt region.
  • Advanced - Starting rigidity is derived from 2D approximation.

View / Delete - Additional information based on state of simulation. Possible states are:

  • X - If you own this request and it is not processed yet, you can remove it.
  • View - If the simulation is finished, anyone can view it.
  • Post processing - Simulation is in process of reprocessing last steps of it because the owner of the simulation changed spectrum at magnetopause.
  • Calculating - The system is still working on this simulation and it is not yet awailable to view.
  • No action - Simulation owner is not the same as the current user or it is in unknown state.

Download - If the simulation is finished, you can download the files straight from this link.
