The ROSCOE Manual. Volume 15. ambient geomagnetic field

Abstract

A preliminary model of the ambient geomagnetic field has been adopted for use in ROSCOE. The model fits a locally-best earth-centered dipole field in the battle space; this dipole field is then used for subsequent field evaluations and line tracings. Herein are presented derivations, flow diagrams, fortran listings, and a test problem and evaluation. The model is found to be both fast and accurate.
