WMM2015 geomagnetic model with simple object-oriented Python interface
Project description
WMM2015
WMM2015 World Magnetic Model...in simple, object-oriented Python. WMM2020 is also available. Tested on Linux, Mac and Windows. Most C compilers work. At this time Visual Studio is not supported since MSVC doesn't export function symbols without additional headers, which is typically done with something like SWIG.
Install
for the latest release from PyPi:
python -m pip install wmm2015
Optionally, to get the cutting-edge development version:
git clone https://github.com/space-physics/wmm2015
python -m pip install -e wmm2015
This Python wrapper of WMM2015 uses our build-on-run technique. The first time you use WMM2015, you will see messages from the build system and C compiler.
Usage
an example script
python RunWMM2015.py
or as a Python module:
import wmm2015
mag = wmm2015.wmm(glat, glon, alt_km, yeardec)
Reference
- WMM2015 inclination map
- WMM2015 declination map
