Abstract

The harsh radiation environment in the inner magnetosphere up to geosynchronous orbit is of major concern to an ever increasing amount of space hardware. While the average or quiescent conditions of the energetic particle population are fairly well characterized, the dynamics during magnetic storms are severely under-sampled. The description of the energetic electron and proton radiation environment at all points in space, which can provide reliable environmental data for locations of satellites that do not carry any energetic particle instrumentation is not trivial. The following approaches, theoretical, empirical, and model/data assimilation are examined in this paper
