Routine Descriptions

  Name: CALCULATE_LSHELL
  
  Purpose: Calculates the l shell value given spacecraft position data in GSM coordinates
  
  Inputs: Spacecraft position vector, an array of [time, x, y, z]
          where time is double precision, and x, y, z, are in GSM coordinates and have units in RE

  Outputs: The l shell value, or -1L on failure

  Usage: lshell = calculate_lshell(pos_gsm_re)
  
  See Also: tkm2re.pro, thm_crib_calculate_lshell.pro

  History:

  Notes: This routine requires IDL geopack routines, returns -1L if not installed

 PROCEDURE: get_tsy_params

 PURPOSE: this procedure will interpolate inputs, generate
          tsyganenko model parameters and store them in a tplot 
          variable that can be passed directly to the model 
          procedure

          relevant variables can be loaded from
 

 INPUTS:   dst_tvar: tplot variable storing the dst index
           
           imf_tvar: tplot variable name storing the interplanetary 
           magnetic field bvector in gsm

           Np_tvar: tplot variable name storing the solar wind
                   ion density(rho) cm^-3
           
           Vp_tvar: tplot variable name storing the proton velocity

           model: a string, should be 'T96','T01' or 'T04S' (upper or
           lower case)

 KEYWORDS:

           newname(optional): the name of the output tplot variable
               (default: t96_par','t01_par' or 't04s_par' depending on 
               selected model)

           trange(optional): the time range over which the parameters
               should range, if not set, this program will check the
               timespan variable or prompt the user for a range

           speed(optional): set this if Vp_tvar is stored as a speed

           imf_yz(optional): set this to indicate that the imf_tvar is actually storing
               two separate tplot variables(the first being the y component
               of the imf and the second being the z)
           
               This can be done as follows:  
                   store_data,'omni_imf',data=['OMNI_HRO_1min_BY_GSM','OMNI_HRO_1min_BZ_GSM']
               Then just pass omni_imf into get_tsy_params and set /imf_yz

           g_coefficients (optional): set this to specify a tplot variable containing the 
               G coefficients for the T01 field model. If this keyword is not set, Geopack
               will calculate the G coefficients automatically. This keyword is ignored for
               field models other than T01
               
           w_coefficients (optional): set this to specify a tplot variable containing 
               the W coefficients for the Tsyganenko-Sitnov (04) field model. If this 
               keyword is not set, Geopack will calculate the W coefficients automatically.
               This keyword is ignored for field models other than TS04

Function: igp_test

Purpose:  Tests whether the idl/geopack module is installed
          Provides installation message if not installed

Keywords:
         geopack_2008: set to use the 2008 version of the Geopack library. 
             Must have version 9.2 of the IDL Geopack DLM installed to use 
             the geopack_2008 keyword
         

Returns: 1 on success 0 on failure

Example:
   if(igp_test() eq 0) then return
   
Notes:
  Should be called in all idl geopack wrapper routines

Keywords:
    geopack_2008: specify to use the 2008 version of Geopack library. Must have v9.2 or later of the IDL Geopack DLM
    
Output:    
 Returns -1 on failure, +1 on success

Procedure : tsy_valid_param

Purpose:

      parameters and interpolates parameters onto position data
    
    
Input:
    in_val: tplot variable containing parameter data to be interpolated onto 
      the position data
    pos_name: the name of the position tplot variable
    
 Returns -1L on failure
