- Stoermer Rigidity Cutoff
This page enables users to calculate the main rigidity cut-off for any incoming direction of the particle and for any altitude. The cut-off is calculated in the shifted dipole approximation, with the Stoermer's formula you can find here.

Info
The Earth Magnetic dipole position and inclination, in addition to the magnetic moment value, are updated with IGRF. Rigidity Cutoff and Geomagnetic coordinates are calculated in the simple shifted-tilted dipole model.
Input Parameters
Input values are
- year (in 4 digits)
- geographical latitude (from -88 to +88 deg.)
- geographic longitude (from 0 to 360 deg.)
- altitude from the Earth's surface (>0 in km)
- Incoming latitude (from -88 to +88 deg.)
- Incoming longitude (from 0 to 360 deg.)
Output
Ouput values are
- geomagnetic latitude
- geomagnetic longitude
- distance from the center of the dipole
- rigidity cutoff (in GV)
