According to recent research from the United States, "Relativistic electrons are hazardous for satellites and humans in space. In this study, we present a detailed description of the Versatile Electron Radiation Belt (VERB) code."
"The computationally efficient methods described in this report make the VERB code a useful tool for space weather forecasting and nowcasting of the relativistic electron environment. The computational efficiency of the code makes it also appropriate for future use with data assimilation tools to specify the state of the radiation environment and correct imperfect models. We also present several skill scores which can be used to ...
