Brief Description:
The program MODEL calculates the integral or differential fluxes of trapped
electrons or protons in Earth's radiation belt by interpolating in one of the
AE/AP trapped particle flux maps. The program expects an array of energies,
L-values, and B/Bo (magnetic field strength normalized to its equatorial
[minimum] value on the field line) values and produces tables of fluxes for
these conditions. The specific flux map should be added as BLOCKDATA statement
at the end of the program. Fluxes are obtained by first applying a
two-dimensional interpolation procedure to the logarithmic fluxes in L x B/Bo
space and by then interpolating linearly with energy. Maps available in the
BLOCK DATA format include AE-5, AE-6, AE-8, and AP-8.
