[R] R Package That Contains International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF)
By any chance is anyone aware of an R package that contains a representation of the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF)? http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/IAGA/vmod/igrf.html I've tracked down some Fortran and C code for the IGRF-10, and possibly IGRF-11, and was hoping to avoid an awkward port. Thanks again for any feedback and leads provided.
I guess I will broaden the question to include any Earth Geomagnetic Model, e.g. DoD World Magnetic Model (WMM). Does there exist an R package that includes any geomagnetic model? Here is an example of a couple of others provided by NASA, e.g. http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/models.shtml Unless I hear back, I guess I will investigate porting these to R as a function and then as a package. Thanks again for the insights and feedback. --- On Sat, 8/1/09, Jason Rupert <jasonkrupert at yahoo.com> wrote: From: Jason Rupert <jasonkrupert at yahoo.com> Subject: R Package That Contains International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) To: R-help at r-project.org Cc: jasonkrupert at yahoo.com Date: Saturday, August 1, 2009, 6:19 PM By any chance is anyone aware of an R package that contains a representation of the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF)?? http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/IAGA/vmod/igrf.html I've tracked down some Fortran and C code for the IGRF-10, and possibly IGRF-11, and was hoping to avoid an awkward port.?
