T04S

[Next Routine] [List of Routines]
Function: t04s

Purpose:  generates an array of model magnetic field vectors from
          a monotonic time series and an array of 3-d position
          vectors

Input:
         tarray: N array representing the time series in seconds utc since 1970
         rgsm_array: Nx3 array representing the position series in
             earth radii (required to be in GSM coordinates)
         The following arguments can either be N length arrays or
         single values
         pdyn_array: Solar wind pressure (nanoPascals) 
         dsti_array: DST index(nanoTeslas)
         yimf_array: y component of the interplanetary magnetic field
         zimf_array: z component of the interplanetary magnetic field
         w1_array:  index represents a time integral over a storm
         w2_array:  index represents a time integral over a storm
         w3_array:  index represents a time integral over a storm
         w4_array:  index represents a time integral over a storm
         w5_array:  index represents a time integral over a storm
         w6_array:  index represents a time integral over a storm

Keywords:
         period(optional): the amount of time between recalculations of
             geodipole tilt in seconds(default: 60)  
             increase this value to decrease run time
         
         add_tilt:  Increment the default dipole tilt used by the model with
                    a user provided tilt in degrees.  Result will be produced with TSY_DEFAULT_TILT+ADD_TILT
                    Value can be set to an N length array an M length array or a single element array. 
                    N is the number of time elements for the data.  M is the number of periods in the time interval.(determined by the period keyword)
                    If single element is provided the same correction will be applied to all periods.   
                    If an N length array is provided, the data will be re-sampled to an M length array. Consequently, if
                    the values change quickly, the period may need to be shortened. 
         
         get_tilt: Returns the dipole_tilt parameter used for each period. 
                   Returned value has a number of elements equal to the value returned by get_nperiod
         
         set_tilt: Alternative dipole_tilt value rather than the geopack tilt.
                   This input can be an M length array, and N length array or a single elemnt.
                   Value can be set to an N length array an M length array or a single element array. 
                   N is the number of time elements for the data.  M is the number of periods in the time interval.(determined by the period keyword)
                   If an N length array is provided, the data will be re-sampled to an M length array. Consequently, if
                   the values change quickly, the period may need to be shortened. 
                   Notes:
                       1) set_tilt will cause add_tilt to be ignored
                       2) Due to this routine adding IGRF to the returned field, you cannot use set_tilt = 0 and give input 
                           position values in SM coordinates; input position values are required to be in GSM coordinates due to the
                           IGRF calculation
                   
         get_nperiod: Returns the number of periods used for the time interval=  ceil((end_time-start_time)/period)

         geopack_2008 (optional): Set this keyword to use the latest version (2008) of the Geopack
              library. Version 9.2 of the IDL Geopack DLM is required for this keyword to work.
              
         IOPGEN (optional): General option flag to pass to geopack_ts04. From Tsyganenko's Fortran:
                                  IOPGEN=0 - CALCULATE TOTAL FIELD
                                  IOPGEN=1 - DIPOLE SHIELDING ONLY
                                  IOPGEN=2 - TAIL FIELD ONLY

                                  IOPGEN=4 - RING CURRENT FIELD ONLY
                                  IOPGEN=5 - INTERCONNECTION FIELD ONLY

         IOPT (optional)
         -  TAIL FIELD FLAG:       IOPT=0  -  BOTH MODES
                                   IOPT=1  -  MODE 1 ONLY
                                   IOPT=2  -  MODE 2 ONLY

         IOPB (optional)
         -  BIRKELAND FIELD FLAG: IOPB=0  -  ALL 4 TERMS
                                  IOPB=1  -  REGION 1, MODES 1 AND 2
                                  IOPB=2  -  REGION 2, MODES 1 AND 2

         IOPR (optional)
         -  RING CURRENT FLAG:    IOPR=0  -  BOTH SRC AND PRC
                                  IOPR=1  -  SRC ONLY
                                  IOPR=2  -  PRC ONLY
              
Returns: an Nx3 length array of field model data (TS04 + IGRF) or -1L on failure

Example:
   mag_array = t04s(time_array,pos_array,pdyn_array,dsti_array,yimf_array,zimf_array,w1_array,w2_array,w3_array,w4_array,w5_array,w6_array)
   mag_array = t04s(time_array,pos_array,pdyn_array,dsti_array,yimf_array,zimf_array,w1_array,w2_array,w3_array,w4_array,w5_array,w6_array,period=10)

Notes:
  1. Relies on the IDL/Geopack Module provided by Haje Korth JHU/APL
      and N.A. Tsyganenko NASA/GSFC, if the module is not installed
      this function will fail.  
  2. Sums the contribution from the internal field model and the
      external field model.
  3. Has a loop with number of iterations = (tarray[n_elements(t_array)]-tarray[0])/period
      This means that as period becomes smaller the amount time of this
      function should take will grow quickly.
  4. Position units are in earth radii, be sure to divide your normal
      units by 6371.2 km to convert them.
      6371.2 = the value used in the GEOPACK FORTRAN code for Re

         parmod(optional): can input the Nx10 parmod array used by the
             fortran Tsyganenko model instead of inputing parameters as
             separate arrays. If passed as a raw array it will not be
             modified or interpolated so be sure its has the correct
             number of entries. It can also be passed as a tplot variable
             name in which case it will be interpolated. If values are 
             passed individually and as par, the par values will be overwritten.


         period(optional): the amount of time between recalculations of
             geodipole tilt in seconds(default: 60)  increase this

         set_tilt(optional): Set this to a tplot variable name or an array of values containing the dipole tilt that should be used.
              If a tplot input is used it will be interpolated to match the time inputs from the position
              var. Non-tplot array values must match the number of times in the tplot input for pos_gsm_tvar
              Notes:
                  1) set_tilt will cause add_tilt to be ignored
                  2) Due to this routine adding IGRF to the returned field, you cannot use set_tilt = 0 and give input 
                      position values in SM coordinates; input position values are required to be in GSM coordinates due to the

 Output: Stores the result of the field model calculations in tplot variables
          
 Notes: 
        1. converts from normal gsm to rgsm by dividing vectors by earth's

        2. Input must be in GSM coordinates
        3. Haje Korth's IDL/Geopack DLM must be installed for this
            procedure to work
        4. either the variables setting parmod or the variables
            setting the individual parameter arrays should be set because
            the defaults aren't scientifically accurate
        5. model parameters that are input as tplot variables they
            will be interpolated to match the time values on the input 
            position
