Description
The well known AP8 and AE8 NASA models are commonly used in the industry to specify the radiation belt environment. Unfortunately, there are some limitations in the use of these models, first due to the covered energy range, but also because in some regions of space, there are discrepancies between the predicted average values and the measurements. Therefore, a new model has been developped at ONERA, GREEN (Global Radiation Earth ENvironement) covering a large region of space and energy, from LEO altitudes to GEO and above, and from plasma to relativistic particles and depending of the year of the solar cycle. The aim for the first version of this new model is to correct the AP8 and AE8 models where they are deficient or not defined, by using local models as IGE-2006, Slot model, OZONE, OPAL,...
