Calculations of the integral invariant coordinates <I>I</I> and <I>L</I>* in the magnetosphere and mapping of the regions where <I>I</I> is conserved, using a particle tracer (ptr3D v2.0), LANL*, SPENVIS, and IRBEM
The integral invariant coordinate <I>I</I> and Roederer's <I>L</I> or <I>L</I>* are proxies for the second and third adiabatic invariants, respectively, that characterize charged particle motion in a magnetic field. Their usefulness lies in the fact that they...
