agi.foundation.celestial.EarthGravitationalModel1996

public final class EarthGravitationalModel1996
extends Object

Provides the semimajor axis, gravitational parameter, and 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th zonal harmonic coefficients for the Earth Gravitational Model of 1996 (EGM96) according to NASA Technical Publication 1998-206861.

By convention, there is a sign difference between the two conventions for expressing the zonal harmonics such that the zonal harmonic coefficient has the opposite sign of the corresponding spherical harmonic coefficient.
