coplot_magsphe pack
-------------------
P. Robert, LPP, June 2010
This pack available for Windows, allowing 2-D magnetosphere plot,
in meridian plane, from Tsyganenko model.
-Plane can be GSM or GSE.
-Sun can be set on the left side or on the righ side.
-Earth is plotted, with continents, and turn correctly according
asked date and time.
-Kp indice can be automatically computed if Kp data base contain
the asked date.
-Computation is very fast for t87 or t89 Tsyganenko model.
-Color choice is only aesthetics, and can be changed.
A few examples of coplot_magsphe.in files and corresponding
coplot_magsphe.ps plots are given.
The user can choice to fill or not various zones with desired colors.
The file colpal-22-10.ps is usefull to choose desired colors.
Usage:
-----
- edit coplot_magsphe.in file, and set date/time and other parameters
if desired ;
- double-clic on coplot_magsphe.bat file : a dos windows appears,
computation are done, file coplot_magsphe.ps is created and
following message appears :
-------------------------------------------------------------------
STOP coplot_magsphe: NORMAL TERMINATION
File coplot_magsphe.ps available.
In case of problems, see coplot_magsphe.out
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Strike any key to close this window ...
- then double-clic on the coplot_magsphe.ps to open it.
Addendum for Cluster orbit plot
-------------------------------
It is possible to add a plot of the CLUSTER Spacecraft,
and Tsyganenko field lines passing by each spacecraft.
- edit coplot_magsphe_cluorbit.in file, and set date/time
and other parameters as previously.
Add at the end a directory path containing .orb Cluster orbit files
for the asked period, and add 3 days (revolution is about 2.5 days)
You can use the data/Cluster_orbit directory to put your files.
- double-clic on coplot_magsphe_cluorbit.bat file :
a dos windows appears as above, and file coplot_magsphe_cluorbit.ps
is created
in case of any problems: patrick.robert@lpp.polytechnique.fr
Enjoy it !
