- NAME
MAG2GEO()
- PURPOSE
Convert from geomagnetic to geographic coordinates
- EXPLANATION
Converts from GEOMAGNETIC (latitude,longitude) to GEOGRAPHIC (latitude,
ongitude). (altitude remains the same)
- CALLING SEQUENCE
gcoord=mag2geo(mcoord)
- INPUT
mcoord = a 2-element array of magnetic [latitude,longitude], or an
array [2,n] of n such coordinates.
- KEYWORD INPUTS
None
- OUTPUT
a 2-element array of geographic [latitude,longitude], or an array [2,n]
of n such coordinates
- COMMON BLOCKS
None
- EXAMPLES
IDL> gcoord=mag2geo([90,0]) ; coordinates of magnetic south pole
IDL> print,gcoord
79.300000 -71.409990
