HELP: Additional Output

Generated values for any selected 'Additional' item will appear in the output in its own column. This list is subject to change. Desired additional output that are not listed under "Additional Output", should be brought to the attention of the Satellite Situation Center by indicating so in the "Comments" form accessible from the SSC's "Main Menu". Output formatting and unit selection is available through the OPTIONAL SETTINGS on the interface.

As a result of selecting:

"Regions...", a window will appear allowing the selection of four region categories. A selected category will result with a column in the output indicating the specific region in which a spacecraft resides for each given point in time.

"Radial distance", a column in the generated output will indicate the distance a spacecraft is from Earth for each given point in time. (km or Re)

"Distances from: neutral sheet" a column in the generated output will indicate the distance a spacecraft is from the neutral sheet for each given point in time. (km or Re) (The employed model of the neutral sheet is that which was provided by Tsyganenko (1995).)

"Distances from: bow shock" a column in the generated output will indicate the distance a spacecraft is from the bow shock for each given point in time. (km or Re)

"Distances from: magnetopause" a column in the generated output will indicate the distance a spacecraft is from the magnetopause for each given point in time. (km or Re)

"B field strengths", a column in the generated output will indicate the magnetic field strength at a spacecraft's location for each given point in time. Units are in nanoTesla.

"L values", a column in the generated output will indicate the l value at a spacecraft's location for each given point in time. (Unitless)

"Invariant latitudes", a column in the generated output will indicate the invariant latitudes at a spacecraft's location for each given point in time. (Degrees)

"B field traces...", a window will appear allowing the selection for output of GEO and/or GM coordinates of magnetic field line footpoints in either magnetic hemisphere (i.e. resulting from a north or south magnetic field line trace). The field line in question is that which passes through a spacecraft at a given point in time. In addition to field line footpoints, the arc length of the line from the spacecraft to either footpoint can also be obtained. (Degrees)
