Pro‐L* ‐ A Probabilistic L* Mapping Tool for Ground Observations by Rhys L. Thompson, Steven K. Morley, Clare E. J. Watt, Sarah N. Bentley, Paul D. Williams

“…In radiation belt physics modeling, one of the key phase‐space coordinates is L*, which indicates the location of the drift paths of energetic electrons. Global magnetic field models allow a subset of locations on the ground (mainly subauroral) to be mapped along field lines to a location in space and transformed into L*, provided that the initial ground location maps to a closed drift path. …”
