OpenAPI apis-guru locationopen_data

Our atmosphere protects us from a hostile space radiation environment comprising high energy particles of solar and intergalactic origin. Solar radiation is significant during unpredictable and short lived solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs); however, galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) is omnipresent. The GCR intensity varies with latitude, longitude, and time due to effects of solar activity on the interplanetary magnetic field, as well as the Earth's magnetic field. Space radiation collides with gases in the atmosphere, leading to a complex shower of high energy radiation, the intensity and composition of which varies spatially and temporally. Excessive exposure to radiation can damage DNA and lead to long-term health effects such as an increased risk of cancer.

Resulting radiation levels at commercial aircraft altitudes are greater than at sea level. Aircrew are classified as radiation workers in some countries; however, planning to limit their exposure, and monitoring, is generally lacking. Both real-time measurements and predictive models of radiation in the atmosphere are important to mitigate the radiation risk to crew.

We host a RESTful API to models of cosmic ray induced ionising radiation in the atmosphere. The CARI7 and PARMA endpoints use models developed by the US Federal Aviation Administration and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency to calculate cosmic radiation doses at a point. The Route Dose API calculates the same quantities along a great circle route between two airports using CARI7.

  • cari7.appApiCari7EndpointsCarI7AmbientDose

    The ambient dose equivalent, H*(10), is an operational quantity that simulates the human body by measuring the dose equivalent at a depth of 10 mm within a tissue equivalent sphere of 300 mm diameter. It is a measurable quantity that is used to calibrate area monitors (radiation detectors) for mixed radiation fields. Use this endpoint if you are comparing model predictions to measurements. *

  • cari7.appApiCari7EndpointsCarI7EffectiveDose

    Effective Dose is a radiation protection quantity defined by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and represents the stochastic health risk to the human body at low levels of radiation. It accounts for the different sensitivities of organs to ionising radiation, as well as the different effectiveness of various types of radiation. Use this endpoint if you need to estimate radiation exposures of personnel.

  • parma.appApiParmaEndpointsParmaAmbientDose

    The ambient dose equivalent, H*(10), is an operational quantity that simulates the human body by measuring the dose equivalent at a depth of 10 mm within a tissue equivalent sphere of 300 mm diameter. It is a measurable quantity that is used to calibrate area monitors (radiation detectors) for mixed radiation fields. Use this endpoint if you are comparing model predictions to measurements. *

  • parma.appApiParmaEndpointsParmaDifferentialIntensity

    The differential intensity of a particle is a directional quantity that describes the number of particles per unit area, per unit solid angle, per unit energy, and per unit time. The API leverages the functionality of PARMA to calculate differential intensity distributions with energies in units of MeV and Intensity in units of /cm2/sr/MeV/s.

  • parma.appApiParmaEndpointsParmaEffectiveDose

    Effective dose is a radiation protection quantity defined by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and represents the stochastic health risk to the human body at low levels of radiation. It accounts for the different sensitivities of organs to ionising radiation, as well as the different effectiveness of various types of radiation. Use this endpoint if you need to estimate radiation exposures of personnel.

  • routedose.appApiIcaroEndpointsIcaroAmbientDose

    The ambient dose equivalent, H*(10), is an operational quantity that simulates the human body by measuring the dose equivalent at a depth of 10 mm within a tissue equivalent sphere of 300 mm diameter. It is a measurable quantity that is used to calibrate area monitors (radiation detectors) for mixed radiation fields.

    Use this endpoint if you are comparing model predictions to measurements.

    This API can run in two modes:

    Either specify
    altitude, duration
    for constant altitude calculations;

    Or specify
    initial_altitude, cruising_altitudes, climb_times, cruising_times, descent_time, final_altitude
    to calculate dose accounting for a step climb.

    Note: the airport codes or coordinates (depending on which was specified), and the date in DD/MM/YYYY format, are echoed in the json response as strings. *
