LANL* V1.0: a radiation belt drift shell model suitable for real-time and reanalysis applications
We describe here a new method for calculating the magnetic drift invariant, <i>L*</i>, that is used for modeling radiation belt dynamics and for other space weather applications. <i>L*</i> (pronounced L-star) is directly proportional to the int...
