Abstract: | The definitions and properties of the magnetic coordinates B, L, K,
0, R, and are reviewed. The roles these parameters play in the study of geomagnetically trapped particles are discussed in detail. The intrinsic accuracy of the magnetic shell parameter L is examined as are the accuracies which are desired, available, and possible. A plea is made for the adoption of standard methods of presenting results.Paper presented at Advanced Study Institute of IIT Research Institute, Bergen, Norway, August 16 1965. |
