Model of the earth's magnetic field.
Evaluate the earth's magnetic field according to a model. At present only internal magnetic fields are handled. These are due to the earth's code and crust; these vary slowly (over many years). Excluded are the effects of currents in the ionosphere and magnetosphere which have daily and annual variations.
See Magnetic models for details of how to install the magnetic models and the data format.

Example of use:
MagneticField is a command-line utility providing access to the functionality of MagneticModel and MagneticCircle.

Construct a magnetic model.
[in] | name | the name of the model. |
[in] | path | (optional) directory for data file. |
[in] | earth | (optional) Geocentric object for converting coordinates; default Geocentric::WGS84(). |
GeographicErr | if the data file cannot be found, is unreadable, or is corrupt. |
std::bad_alloc | if the memory necessary for storing the model can't be allocated. |
A filename is formed by appending ".wmm" (World Magnetic Model) to the name. If path is specified (and is non-empty), then the file is loaded from directory, path. Otherwise the path is given by the DefaultMagneticPath().
This file contains the metadata which specifies the properties of the model. The coefficients for the spherical harmonic sums are obtained from a file obtained by appending ".cof" to metadata file (so the filename ends in ".wwm.cof").
The model is not tied to a particular ellipsoidal model of the earth. The final earth argument to the constructor specifies an ellipsoid to allow geodetic coordinates to the transformed into the spherical coordinates used in the spherical harmonic sum.

Evaluate the components of the geomagnetic field.
[in] | t | the time (years). |
[in] | lat | latitude of the point (degrees). |
[in] | lon | longitude of the point (degrees). |
[in] | h | the height of the point above the ellipsoid (meters). |
[out] | Bx | the easterly component of the magnetic field (nanotesla). |
[out] | By | the northerly component of the magnetic field (nanotesla). |
[out] | Bz | the vertical (up) component of the magnetic field (nanotesla). |

Evaluate the components of the geomagnetic field and their time derivatives
[in] | t | the time (years). |
[in] | lat | latitude of the point (degrees). |
[in] | lon | longitude of the point (degrees). |
[in] | h | the height of the point above the ellipsoid (meters). |
[out] | Bx | the easterly component of the magnetic field (nanotesla). |
[out] | By | the northerly component of the magnetic field (nanotesla). |
[out] | Bz | the vertical (up) component of the magnetic field (nanotesla). |
[out] | Bxt | the rate of change of Bx (nT/yr). |
[out] | Byt | the rate of change of By (nT/yr). |
[out] | Bzt | the rate of change of Bz (nT/yr). |

MagneticCircle GeographicLib::MagneticModel::Circle | ( | real | t, |
real | lat, | ||
real | h | ||
) | const |
Create a MagneticCircle object to allow the geomagnetic field at many points with constant lat, h, and t and varying lon to be computed efficiently.
[in] | t | the time (years). |
[in] | lat | latitude of the point (degrees). |
[in] | h | the height of the point above the ellipsoid (meters). |
std::bad_alloc | if the memory necessary for creating a MagneticCircle can't be allocated. |
If the field at several points on a circle of latitude need to be calculated then creating a MagneticCircle and using its member functions will be substantially faster, especially for high-degree models.

Compute various quantities dependent on the magnetic field.
[in] | Bx | the x (easterly) component of the magnetic field (nT). |

[out] | H | the horizontal magnetic field (nT). |
[out] | F | the total magnetic field (nT). |
[out] | D | the declination of the field (degrees east of north). |
[out] | I | the inclination of the field (degrees down from horizontal). |

Because the model will typically provide useful results slightly outside the range of allowed heights, no check of t argument is made by MagneticModel::operator()() or MagneticModel::Circle.
