Description of the Book:

The drift shells of protons in a model magnetic field are calculated. The observed radial gradient of the protons is combined with the calculated drift shells to predict the flux levels at several local times for different pitch angles and energies. A simplified method is used to describe the drift shells. The field model is a three term Mead model, which is fit to the observed B values at synchronous orbit. The resulting predicted local time dependent fluxes match the observed fluxes very well and correctly predict the pitch angle dependencies. (Author
