astroforge.coordinates.ITRSToLatLonAlt#
- astroforge.coordinates.ITRSToLatLonAlt(z)[source]#
Converts a cartesian vector from the International Terrestrial Reference System (ITRS) to geodetic latitute, longitude, and altitude. This method is a wrapper around astropy utilities.
Note
Output latitude and longitude are in degrees. Output altitude is in kilometers.
- Parameters:
z (NDArray[np.float64]) – Shape (3,) cartesian vector in ITRS
- Returns:
lat (float) – Geodetic latitude (degrees)
lon (float) – Longitude (degrees)
alt (float) – Height above the WGS84 reference ellipsoid (km)
