Examples

import chaosmagpy as cp
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

model = cp.load_CALS7K_txtfile('CALS7K.2')  # load model TXT-file

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1, figsize=(10, 6))

time = np.linspace(-5000., 1950., 1000)  # decimal years
mjd = cp.data_utils.dyear_to_mjd(time, leap_year=False)

coeffs = model.synth_coeffs(mjd, nmax=1)

ax.plot(time, coeffs)
ax.set_title(model.name)
ax.set_xlabel('years')
ax.set_ylabel('nT')

ax.legend(['$g_1^0$', '$g_1^1$', '$h_1^1$'])
