We have developed a fast and accurate geomagnetic vertical cutoff interpolation tool that has general space weather applications. The interpolation aid is based on cutoff rigidity values determined from world grids of geomagnetic cutoff rigidities obtained by tracing cosmic ray trajectories through the Tsyganenko magnetospheric field model combined with the International Geomagnetic Reference Field. Calculations were done for a 450 km satellite altitude for all magnetic conditions represented by Kp indices ranging from super quiet to extremely disturbed. The interpolation tool extrapolates these results to other positions or altitudes. We demonstrate the accuracy of this vertical geomagnetic cutoff interpolation tool by comparing our predicted cutoff latitudes with those measured by the SAMPEX spacecraft. In general our predicted cutoff latitudes are within about one degree of the observed cutoff latitudes for low levels of geomagnetic activity and within several degrees at high levels of geomagnetic activity.
