Class Name: SME 3D Location
Subclasses
This DRM class is concrete and has no subclasses.
Definition
An instance of this DRM class specifies a coordinate for an SRF
based on the Solar Magnetic Ecliptic SRFT.
See 8.5.14 Solar magnetic ecliptic SRFT of
ISO/IEC 18026 for a complete definition.

Example
-
An SRF derived from the Solar Magnetic Ecliptic SRFT is convenient
for representing such data as:
-
magnetopause and shock boundary positions,
-
magnetosheath and magnetotail fields, and
-
magnetosheath solar wind velocities
(since the orientation of the magnetic dipole axis
alters the otherwise cylindrical symmetry of the
solar wind flow).
FAQs
-
What kind of data is ordinarily represented in SME?
SME is quasi-inertial in that it rocks about the
solar direction on both yearly (23.4 degrees +- 11.2
degrees) and 24 hour (+- 11.2 degree) cycles.
