magcoordpy 0.2.2

A python package for working with magnetic coordinate transformations

MagCoordPy

A python package for working with magnetic coordinate transformations. The documentation is available at https://magcoordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.

Installation

pip install magcoordpy

Example usage

from magcoordpy import coord_transforms
long_geo = np.arange(-180, 190, 10)
lati_geo = np.zeros(len(long_array))
alti_geo = np.zeros(len(long_array))
lat_cd, lon_cd, r_cd = coord_transforms.geodetic2cd(lati_geo, long_geo, alti_geo, year=2021.0)

It includes the following functions (not exhaustive list):

• geodetic2cd --> transformation from geodetic to centered dipole
• cd2geodetic --> transformation from centered dipole to geodetic
