Description
calc_mlat_rings calculates the geographic latitudes and longitudes of a circle of points (graticule) for a list of magnetic latitudes. Currently it works only with aacgmv2; this enhancement would entail adding functionality for other coordinate systems as well.
Potential impact
- Is the feature related to an existing problem? -- It would facilitate mapping/comparison of multiple magnetic coordinate systems.
- How critical is this feature to your workflow? -- It's outside the scope of calculating conjugate points, so it isn't critical, but would be useful to have.
- How wide of an impact to you anticipate this enhancement having? -- May use in upcoming IPY5 reports
- Would this break any existing functionality? -- No
Potential solution(s)
Alternatives
magcoordmap is an alternative, but at the time of writing it only works for apex coordinates.
