gc2gde(xyz, a, f)
[SOFA] Returns geodetic coordinates (eastward longitude in radians,
northward latitude in radians, height above the ellipsoid in meters)
corresponding to geocentric coordinates xyz
using a
reference ellipsoid with equatorial radius a
and
flattening f
. xyz
and a
must
be in the same units, and the returned height is given in that same
unit, too. xyz
must have 3 elements in its first
dimension. a
and f
must each have a single
element. The result has the same dimensions as xyz
.
