Solutions to BAS-PRO model runs for Modelling 1-10MeV Proton Phase Space Density

This dataset contains solution data produced by the BAS-PRO proton radiation belt model for the study "Modelling Inner Proton Belt Variability at Energies 1 to 10MeV using BAS-PRO". The solution data is in the form of 3D grids describing phase space density computed during dynamic simulations of Earth''s proton belt over the modelling period 2014 to 2018. Three model runs are included: SA19, J81 and S16. Files were produced in May 2021.

Statement: The outer boundary is driven by fits to equatorial pitch angle distributions derived from the RBSPICE ISRHELT, MagEIS pix2 and REPT instruments, and is subject to some uncertainty.

The phase space density of protons with dipole mirror points at 585km altitude or below is assumed to be zero.

The phase space density at L < 1.15 is assumed to be zero.
