SHMagPowerL

Compute the power of the magnetic field for a single degree l given the Schmidt seminormalized magnetic potential spherical harmonic coefficients.

Usage

power = SHMagPowerL (cilm, a, r, l)

Parameters

power : output, real(dp) : The power at degree l

cilm : input, real(dp), dimension (2, l+1, l+1) : The Schmidt seminormalized spherical harmonic coefficients of the magnetic potential.

a : input, real(dp) : The reference radius of the magnetic potential spherical harmonic coefficients.

r : input, real(dp) : The radius to evaluate the magnetic field.

l : input, integer(int32) : The spherical harmonic degree for which the power will be calculated.

Description

SHMagPowerL will calculate the power of the magnetic field at radius r for a single degree l given the magnetic potential Schmidt seminormalized spherical harmonic coefficients c evaluated at radius a. This is explicitly calculated as:

S(l) = (l+1) (a/r)**(2l+4) Sum_{m=0}^l [ cilm(1, l+1, m+1)**2 + cilm(2, l+1, m+1)**2 ].
