AF-Geospace User's Manual Version 2.5.1 and Version 2.51P
Abstract
AF-GEOSpace is a user-friendly, graphics-intensive software program combining space environment models, applications, and data visualization products developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory and the space weather community. Models of the radiation belts, South Atlantic Anomaly, aurora, magnetospheric plasma and fields, magnetopause, ionosphere, neutral atmosphere, meteor impacts, interplanetary shock propagation, cosmic rays, solar energetic particles, and geomagnetic cutoff rigidity are included. Applications address radiation dose, linear energy transport, ionospheric scintillation and HF-ray propagation, and magnetic fieldline tracing. Data modules display DMSP particle spectra, user-provided satellite data and ephemerides, and 3D gridded simulation data sets. AF-GEOSpace enables operational product prototyping, model validation, environment specification for spacecraft design, mission planning, frequency management for HF communications, and satellite anomaly resolution. Graphical tools include stations, radar fans, satellites, links, detector cones, coordinate probes and slices, isosurfaces, orbit data probes, grids, and magnetic field-lines. For comparison, use of common input parameter sets supports the creation of animations displaying output from multiple space environment models for a given time interval.
