The SEDRIS Data Representation Model
APPENDIX A - Classes SMD 3D Location |
---|
An instance of this DRM class specifies a coordinate for an SRF based on the Solar Magnetic Dipole SRFT.
See 8.5.15 Solar magnetic dipole SRFT of ISO/IEC 18026 for a complete definition.
An SRF derived from the Solar Magnetic Dipole SRFT is convenient for ordering data controlled more strongly by the dipole field of the Earth than by solar wind. It is used for representing magnetopause cross-sections and magnetospheric magnetic fields.
SMD is quasi-inertial in that it rotates with both a yearly and daily period.
See the SRM for additional details.
