fieldAtTime

Arguments

:: (Num a, Eq a)

=> MagneticModel a

Magnetic field model

-> a

Time since model epoch (year)

-> SphericalHarmonicModel a

Spherical harmonic model of magnetic field at specified time. Field in nT, reference radius in km

Gets a spherical harmonic model of a magnetic field at a specified time offset from the model epoch.

Arguments

:: (Floating a, Ord a)

=> SphericalHarmonicModel a

Spherical harmonic model

-> a

Spherical radius

-> a

Spherical colatitude (radian)

-> a

Spherical longitude (radian)

-> (a, a, a)

East, North, and up components of gradient

Computes the gradient of the scalar value of the spherical harmonic model at a specified location, in Cartesian coordinates. The result is expressed in a reference frame locally tangent to the specified location.
