Bx |
Bx component of IMF (Interplanetary Magnetic Field). IMF is a geomagnetic index used in external magnetic field model computation. It corresponds to the part of the Sun's magnetic field that is carried into interplanetary space by the solar wind. The three orthogonal components of the IMF are Bx, By and Bz. Bx and By are oriented parallel to the ecliptic. The IMF is a weak field, varying in strength near the Earth from 1 to 37 nT, with an average value of about 6 nT. |

dipole_update |
True: Dipole Orientation is Consistent with the Real Time During The Simulated Time Interval. Dipole Orientation is Updated With Time. False: Dipole Orientation is Fixed to a select dipole tilt (-34 deg < tilt < 34 deg). |
The Earth's dipole tilt is used as an input to Weimer model to calculate ionospheric potential used by CTIP. |
