Khurana Jupiter Current Sheet Structure Model 2022

Khurana Jupiter Current Sheet Structure Model 2022, v1.0

Description

The program calculates the current sheet structure at Jupiter at a particular point in space and time.

Instructions

Call the Fortran subroutine 'csheet_struc' with the input parameters of the desired location in space, given seperately as 'R', 'theta', 'phi' in System III coordinates, and 'XJSO' and 'YJSO' in Jupiter-Sun-Orbit coordinates, as well as time argument 'ctime' in UNIX time. The output is 'ZNS3', the height of the current sheet in System III.

Main Fortran Subroutine

SUBROUTINE csheet_struc(ZNS3,R,theta,phi,XJSO,YJSO,ctime)

Arguments:
     INPUT:    R,theta,phi : position in System III
                     XJSO,YJSO   : position in JSO
                     ctime       : UNIX time
     OUTPUT: ZNS3        : hight of the current sheet in System III
