Package pyaxqg

A pure Python implementation of a biaxial and triaxial reference ellipsoid for the Earth with conversion between geodetic lat-, longitude with ellipsoidal height h and cartesian X, Y, Z with orthometric height H using bilinear interpolation of quasi-geoid heights axN from bi- and triaxial, 1-degree, whole Earth grids.

The 5 grids are columns Nbiaxial, xE, xyE, xzE and Ntriaxial from Supplementary file 2, zipped.

See pygeodesy.geoids for other pure Python geoid implementations and height interpolations.

See the pyaxqg main module for some usage examples and comparison with the pygeodesy.GeoidKarney results.

Version: 26.08.23
