Class GeoMagneticModelParser

java.lang.Object
org.orekit.models.earth.GeoMagneticModelParser
public class GeoMagneticModelParser extends Object
Loads geomagnetic field models from a given input stream. A stream may contain multiple models, the loader reads all available models in consecutive order.

The format of the expected model file is either:

  • combined format as used by the geomag software, available from the IGRF model site; supports multiple epochs per file
  • original format as used by the WMM model site.

Combined Format 

     {model name} {epoch} {nMax} {nMaxSec} {nMax3} {validity start} {validity end} {minAlt} {maxAlt} {model name} {line number}
 {n} {m} {gnm} {hnm} {dgnm} {dhnm} {model name} {line number}

Example: 

    WMM2010  2010.00 12 12  0 2010.00 2015.00   -1.0  600.0          WMM2010   0

Original WMM Format 

    {epoch} {model name} {validity start}
 {n} {m} {gnm} {hnm} {dgnm} {dhnm}

Example: 

    2015.0            WMM-2015        12/15/2014
