hamsci_psws.geopack.geodToGeocAzEl

hamsci_psws.geopack.geodToGeocAzEl(lat, lon, az, el, inverse=False)[source]

Converts azimuth and elevation from geodetic to geocentric (and vice-versa)

Converts pointing azimuth and elevation measured with respect to the local horizon to azimuth and elevation with respect to the horizon defined by the plane perpendicular to the Earth-centered radial vector drawn through a user defined point.

Parameters
  • lat (float) – latitude [degree]

  • lon (float) – longitude [degree]

  • az (float) – azimuth [degree, N]

  • el (float) – elevation [degree]

  • inverse (Optional[bool]) – inverse conversion

Returns

  • lat (float) – latitude [degree]

  • lon (float) – longitude [degree]

  • Re (float) – Earth radius [km]

  • az (float) – azimuth [degree, N]

  • el (float) – elevation [degree]
