chaosmagpy.coordinate_utils.transform_points¶
- chaosmagpy.coordinate_utils.transform_points(theta, phi, time=None, *, reference=None, inverse=None, dipole=None)[source]¶
Transform spherical geographic coordinates into rotated spherical coordinates.
- Parameters:
- thetafloat or ndarray, shape (…)
Geocentric colatitude in degrees.
- phifloat or ndarray, shape (…)
Longitude in degrees.
- timefloat or ndarray, shape (…)
Time given as modified Julian date, i.e. with respect to the date 0h00 January 1, 2000 (mjd2000). Ignored for
reference='mag'
.- reference{‘gsm’, ‘sm’, ‘mag’}
Target coordinate system.
- inversebool
Use inverse transformation instead, i.e. transform from rotated to spherical geographic coordinates (default is False).
- dipolendarray, shape (…, 3), optional
Dipole spherical harmonics \(g_1^0\), \(g_1^1\) and \(h_1^1\). Defaults to
basicConfig['params.dipole']
.
- Returns:
- thetandarray, shape (…)
Geocentric colatitude in degrees \([0^\circ, 180^\circ]\) of the rotated coordinate system.
- phindarray, shape (…)
Longitude in degrees \((-180^\circ, 180^\circ]\) of the rotated geocentric coordinate system.
