<h2> Earth paraboloid model (A2000) </h2>
<UL>
  <li> The model from SINP MSU computes analytically the Earth magnetospheric magnetic field components from the following inputs :
    <UL>
      <li> <b>solar wind density and velocity</b>
      <li> <b>IMF vector</b>
      <li> <b>Dst and AL indices</b>
      <li> <b>time</b>
    </UL>
    <li> When a parameter 'A2000 model field along a spacecraft orbit' is calculated, 
    the input data above are fetched in the AMDA database 
    and averaged on 60 min (fixed interval) before computation. 
    The original ephemeris time resolution is finally used for the resolution of the computed magnetic field.
    <li> Model magnetic field can be calculated along a number of spacecraft orbits :
        select the desired one from the arguments list. Note that you may also select different source for input conditions:
        OMNI or AMDA data base. In the latter case AMDA calculates the SW propagation to the target.    
    <li> A detailed description along with complete references is available <a href="http://213.131.1.8/smdc/public/article/Earth_PM_description.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>.    
    <li> The code version in AMDA is A2012-v3 which is similar to A2000 with the correction of some bugs by V. Kalegaev.
    <li> An alternative implementation of the model can be found on <a href="http://smdc.sinp.msu.ru/index.py?nav=paraboloid/index" target="_blank">the SINP site</a>.
    <li> The inclusion of the SINP model into AMDA has been made possible by <a href="http://impex-fp7.oeaw.ac.at/" target=_BLANK>the FP7 project IMPEx </a>.
