Online demo: http://cweiss.alwaysdata.net/geomagJS/geomag.htm Adapted from the geomagc software and World Magnetic Model of the NOAA Satellite and Information Service, National Geophysical Data Center http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/WMM/DoDWMM.shtml geoMagFactory() requires a world magnetic model (WMM) object. The helper function cof2Obj(), available in cof2Obj.js, takes the text of WMM.COF and returns an object suitable for geoMagFactory(). A syncronous XMLHttpRequest to fetch the WMM.COF is recommended in a web environment. The helper function syncXHR(), available in syncXHR.js, takes the url of the WMM.COF file and returns the WMM.COF file as text. Usage: geoMagFactory(wmm) returns a function which can compute the Earth's magnetic field. The returned function requires two arguments, latitude and longitude (in decimal degrees), and, optionally, altitude in feet (default is 0), and a date object (default is the current system time). var cof = syncXHR('http://host/path/WMM.COF'), wmm = cof2Obj(cof), geoMag = geoMagFactory(wmm), latitude = 40.0, // decimal degrees (north is positive) longitude = -80.0, // decimal degrees (east is positive) altitude = 0, // feet (optional, default is 0) time = new Date(2012, 4, 20), // optional, default is the current system time myGeoMag = geoMag(latitude,longitude,altitude,time), magneticVariation = myGeoMag.dec, // Geomagnetic declination (variation) // in decimal degrees // -- east is positive magneticDip = myGeoMag.dip, // Geomagnetic dip in decimal degrees // (down is positive) magneticFieldIntensity = myGeoMag.ti, // Total Intensity of the // geomagnetic field in nanoteslas magneticBH = myGeoMag.bh, // Horizontal Intensity of the geomagnetic // field in nT magneticBX = myGeoMag.bx, // North Component of the geomagnetic field in nT magneticBY = myGeoMag.by, // East Component of the geomagnetic field in nT magneticBZ = myGeoMag.bz, // Vertical Component of the geomagnetic field // (down is positive) lat = myGeoMag.lat, // input latitude lon = myGeoMag.lon; // input longitude
