Magnetopause Location Model

(courtesy of Jih-Hong Shue)

• Description of the Model (Shue et al. 1997)
  

• Animated GIF of magnetopause and geosynchronous spacecraft location. Figure legends: Red line is prediction of Shue et al. [1997], blue line predicted by the extrapolated Roelof and Sibeck [1993], and the green line indicates geosynchronous orbit; Green dots indicates satellites are in the magnetosphere in respect to the prediction by Shue et al. [1997]. Blinking red and gold dots are indicated when satellites are in the magnetosheath; L-90 is LANL-90; L-91 is LANL-91; L-94 is LANL-94; GO-8 is GOES-8; GO-9 is GOES-9; GM-4 is GMS-4; T-401 is Telstar-401; GE is Geotail; I-1 is Interball-1.
