A python package for working with magnetic coordinate transformations.

The documentation is available at .

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
