| Zusammenfassung |
| A new geomagnetic parameter was suggested twenty years ago by Y. Galperin,
the Galperin L parameter, and it was introduced into the CNES Maglib for
French-Russian projects in the exploration of the distant magnetosphere. The
definition and the advantages of the Galperin L parameter are recalled in
this brief paper. Unforeseen possibilities in the use of this parameter for
mathematical models of the magnetosphere are stressed using past results
obtained with the Mead model. The Galperin L parameter is shown to add, in
the synchronous region, a quantitative capability to the qualitative
description (labelling) of the magnetosphere. More work will be necessary to
adapt past mathematical models to present numerical models and extend the
domain of the quantitative applications of the Galperin L parameter. |
