[Next Routine] [List of Routines]

    Function: t01

    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)
             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
             g1_array:  index describes solar wind conditions in the previous hour
             g2_array: index describes solar wind conditions in the previous hour

    Keywords:
             period(optional): the amount of time between recalculations of
                 geodipole tilt in seconds(default: 60)  increase this
                 value to decrease run time. The center (not the start) of the first period is now aligned with
                 the start 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 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

             exact_tilt_times (optional):  Set this keyword to avoid grouping similar times (default 10 minutes) and instead
                  recalculate the dipole tilt at each input time

             get_nperiod: Returns the number of periods used for the time interval=  ceil((end_time-start_time)/period)

             storm: Use the storm-time version of the T01 model

             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.

    Returns: an Nx3 length array of field model data (T01 + IGRF) or -1L on failure

    Example:
       mag_array = t01(time_array,pos_array,pdyn_array,dsti_array,yimf_array,zimf_array,g1_array,g2_array)
       mag_array = t01(time_array,pos_array,pdyn_array,dsti_array,yimf_array,zimf_array,g1_array,g2_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

## TT01

[Previous Routine] [List of Routines]

    Procedure: tt01

    Purpose:  tplot wrapper for the functional interface to the IDL Geopack
              implementation of the Tsyganenko 2001 and IGRF model.

    Input:

              gsm coordinates

    Keywords:
              pdyn(optional): Solar wind pressure(nanoPascals) should either be a
                  string naming a tplot variable or an array or a single
                  value. 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

              dsti(optional): DST index(nanoTeslas)  should either be a
                  string naming a tplot variable or an array or a single
                  value.  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

             yimf(optional): y component of the interplanetary magnetic field
                 should either be a string naming a tplot variable or an
                 array or a single value.  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

             zimf(optional): z component of the interplanetary magnetic field
                 should either be a string naming a tplot variable or an
                 array or a single value.  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

             g1(optional):  index describes solar wind conditions in the
                 previous hour, should either be a string naming a tplot variable or an
                 array or a single value.   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

             g2(optional): index describes solar wind conditions in the
                 previous hour should either be a string naming a tplot variable or an
                 array or a single value.   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

             parmod(optional): can input the Nx10 parmod array used by the
                 Fortran Tsyganenko model. 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
                 value to decrease run time

             get_nperiod(optional): Return the number of periods used in the time interval

             newname(optional):the name of the output variable.
                 (default: pos_gsm_tvar+'_bt01') This option is ignored if globbing is used.

             error(optional): named variable in which to return the
                 error state of this procedure call. 1 = success, 0 = failure

             get_tilt(optional):  Set this value to a tplot variable name in which the geodipole
                 tilt for each period will be returned. One sample will be returned for each period
                 with time at the center of the period.

             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
                         IGRF calculation

             add_tilt(optional): Set this to a tplot variable name or an array of values containing the values to be added to the dipole tilt
                 that should be used for each period. If a tplot input is used it will be interpolated to match the time inputs from the position

             exact_tilt_times (optional):  Set this keyword to avoid grouping similar times (default 10 minutes) and instead
                  recalculate the dipole tilt at each input time

             storm(optional): Set this to use the storm-time version of the T01 model

             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.

     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
                radius(6371.2 km) ie inputs should be in km
                6371.2 = the value used in the GEOPACK FORTRAN code for Re
            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
