Electric/magnetic field options need updating in documentation

lanl / RAM-SCB

RAM-SCB is a unique code that combines a kinetic model of ring current plasma with a three dimensional force-balanced model of the terrestrial magnetic field to simulate Earth's inner magnetosphere.

Electric/magnetic field options need updating in documentation #85

Closed drsteve closed 1 year ago

The current docs only list:

IESC : for use in SWMF
VOLS : Volland-Stern
WESC : Weimer (where the reference is given in PARAM.xml as both 2000 and 2001)

Options W5SC (Weimer 2005) and RSCE (self-consistent E) do not appear to be documented anywhere.

~~This can probably be addressed in #75~~

Just to add to the laundry list: magnetic field options aren't adequately documented.

E.g. For the T89 model, one can set T89I to use T89+IGRF as the outer boundary for SCB. T89D uses T89 with a centered dipole internal field as the outer boundary for SCB. Setting T89L uses T89 with a centered dipole, but does not use SCB. The I/D/L nomenclature is the same for the later field models too.
