Description
The main characteristics and principles of the recently developed Slot Region Radiation Environment Models (SRREMs) are presented. The SRREMs are data-based statistical models that characterize the variability of trapped charged particle fluxes in the region between the inner and the outer electron radiation belts. The models are based on the analysis of a large volume of available data and on the construction of a virtual data base of slot region particle fluxes. The analysis that we have followed retains the long-term temporal, spatial and spectral variations in electron and proton fluxes as well as the short-term enhancement events at altitudes and inclinations relevant for satellites residing in the slot region. The output of the models provide mean and peak energetic particle fluxes for a user-defined mission orbit, space weather conditions and duration as determined by confidence level. Results and future developments of the models are presented and discussed.
