Module with some useful empirical models (plasmapause, magnetopause, Lmax)

Authors: Steve Morley, Josef Koller Institution: Los Alamos National Laboratory Contact: smorley@lanl.gov

`getDststar`(ticks[, model, dbase])	Calculate the pressure-corrected Dst index, Dst*
`getExpectedSWTemp`(velo[, model, units])	Return the expected solar wind temperature based on the bulk velocity
`getLmax`(ticks[, model, dbase])	calculate a simple empirical model for Lmax - last closed drift-shell
`getMagnetopause`(ticks[, LTs, dbase])	Calculates the Shue et al. (1997) position in equatorial plane.
`getMPstandoff`(ticks[, dbase, alpha])	Calculates the Shue et al. (1997) subsolar magnetopause radius.
`getPlasmaPause`(ticks[, model, LT, omnivals])	Plasmapause location model(s)
`getSolarProtonSpectra`([norm, gamma, E0, ...])	Returns a SpaceData with energy and fluence spectra of solar particle events
`getSolarRotation`(ticks[, rtype, fp, reverse])	Calculates solar rotation number (Carrington or Bartels) for a given date/time
`getVampolaOrder`(L)	Empirical lookup of power for sin^n pitch angle model from Vampola (1996)
`omniFromDirectionalFlux`(fluxarr, alphas[, norm])	Calculate omnidirectional flux [(s cm^2 kev)^-1] from directional flux [(s sr cm^2 keV)^-1] array
`vampolaPA`(omniflux, **kwargs)	Pitch angle model of sin^n form
