Description
As part of the ESA ESHIEM project we developed the Magnetic Shielding Model (MSM) - a parmeterised model for calculating the transmission/penetration of charged particles into the Earth's magnetosphere A set of pre-calculated rigidity cutoff maps have been created using the PLANETOCOSMICS code and the rigidity cutoff for a given location and date within the magnetosphere can be quickly obtained by interpolation. In this talk we will report on the strategy of the map production, the interploation algorithm, and the validation effort; also we will discuss the limitations and the errors/uncertainties of the model.
