Synopsis

MEarthMagnetic forms derived Measure class for Earth' magnetic flux density. The field can be specified as a model, or as a 3D vector (see MVEarthMagnetic) with a specified reference frame code. If a model is specified, a possibly specified explicit field will be ignored, since the field will be calculated from the model if a conversion is asked for.
The class contains the following magnetic field models:

The reference frame type can be any of the types specified in the MDirection direction types (e.g. AZEL).
Warning: The IGRF needs a Table of coefficients (at 5-year interval)

Conversion between field models is not supported (but not relevant anyway with only one model supported). Conversion to an explicit direction is done by the standard MeasConvert class and rules (see example) using MEarthMagnetic::Convert, and the reference types (e.g. MEarthMagnetic::AZEL).

An EarthMagneticMachine has been provided to get e.g. the field in a certain direction at a certain height.

Example

// Where on Earth
MPosition pos(MVPosition(Quantity(20,'m'), Quantity(5,'deg'),
// Time we want it
MEpoch epo(MVEpoch(50000));
// Put in frame
MeasFrame frame(pos, epo);
// Magnetic field model
// Show field strength in Gauss in AzEl system
cout <<
getValue().getLength("G") << endl;

Motivation

To have the Earth' magnetic field in the standard Measure environment.
