Bibliography
A description of the Earth’s magnetic field is the subject of Chapters III, VII, and VIII of a book by S. Chapman and J. Bartels, Geomagnetism, Oxford Press, 1962.
The motion of charged particles in the magnetic field is treated in the following three publications: Northrop, T. G.: ‘Adiabatic Charged-Particle Motion’, Rev. Geophys. 1, 283.
The motion of charged particles in the magnetic field is treated in the following three publications: Dragt, A. J.: 1965, ‘Trapped Orbits in a Magnetic Dipole Field’, Rev. Geophys. 3, 255.
The motion of charged particles in the magnetic field is treated in the following three publications: Walt, M. and MacDonald, W. M.: 1964, ‘The Influence of the Earth’s Atmosphere on Geo-magnetically Trapped Particles’, Rev. Geophys. 2, 543.
