• How to combine data from different epochs • How to use the model with recent magnetic field models • Atmospheric effects are not represented • TREND method: (K, nhmin) map • Kauffman K = I √B • Atmospheric density at lowest mirror point • Advantages • • • hmin is proxy of L* (invariant to secular variation of magnetic field) Using n incorporates atmospheric driving K “squares” the flux maps Data from different epochs can be combined Only 1 model map is needed (per energy) 31/10/2018 • “Classic” method using (L, α 0) maps breaks down RENELLA MS 2 b, ESTEC, The Netherlands LARB model definition 10
• Generate yearly (L, α 0) -> (I, K, hmin) maps (using mid-year IGRF and updated magnetic field model) with UNILIB • Fit hmin(I) dependence as a parabola and store the fit parameters • Use inverse fit to derive α 0 c(104 km) • Data binning (per energy channel) • • Calculate (L, I, K, α 0) for each data record Calculate hmin(I) using the stored parabolic fit coefficients Calculate n(hmin) Bin in (K, n(hmin)) grids 31/10/2018 • hmin is found by tracing the drift shell • This is time consuming RENELLA MS 2 b, ESTEC, The Netherlands Calculating n at hmin 11
