- L-Shell
This page enables users to calculate the L-Shell (or McIlwain) parameter for any particle and for any position. The L-Shell parameter is calculated in the shifted tilted dipole approximation, with the simple formula you can find here, using the updated IGRF-13 last parameters (https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/IAGA/vmod/igrf.html).
To perform the L-Shell Calculation please follow this link:
Input Parameters
Input values are
- Geographical latitude (from 88 to -88 deg.)
- Geographic longitude (from 0 to 360 deg.)
- Altitude from the Earth's surface (in km)
- Time (year,month,day,hour,min,sec)
Output Parameters
Ouputs are:
- L-Shell parameter (in unit of Earth radii)
