Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding parameters for a specific equation related to satellite operations at altitudes between 100 km and 300 km, utilizing the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) for temperature data and the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) for magnetic field data. The context appears to be related to a homework exercise.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks assistance in determining parameters for equation [1] from a provided link, specifically for satellite heights between 100 km and 300 km, using IRI and IGRF.
  • Another participant inquires if the question is for schoolwork and requests clarification on the context.
  • The original poster confirms that it is a homework question and specifies the need to use IRI for temperatures and IGRF for magnetic fields.
  • A later response advises that schoolwork questions should be posted in the Homework Help area and suggests starting a new thread with a descriptive title.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need to follow forum guidelines regarding homework questions, but the specific technical details of the original question remain unresolved.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not provide specific methodologies or solutions for finding the parameters, and there is no exploration of the underlying physics or mathematics involved in the equation.

I must find parameters for equation [1] in this link http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jgra.50543/pdf
for satelite in height from 100km until 300km. Have to use IRI and IGRF. Any help with answer?
Welcome to the PF. :smile:

Is this for schoolwork? What is the context of the question?
 
Thank you! :)
Yes is a question in my exersice.
The question ask to find the parameters for the equation [1] from the link,using IRI to find temperatures and IGRF to find magnetics fields

Ah, thank you. :smile:

All schoolwork questions go in the Homework Help area of the PF. Please start a new thread in the Homework Help, Introductory Physics forum, and fill out the Template you are provided when starting a new schoolwork thread there. The Template includes sections for the Relevant Equations and your Attempt at a Solution.

This thread is now locked.
 
Oh, and please be sure to use a very descriptive thread title when you repost. The title should reflect the question being asked in the thread. :smile:
