Gravity of ellipsoid models and common reductions (Bouguer, free-air) | ||
**Reference ellipsoids** | ||
This module uses instances of | ||
:class:`~fatiando.gravmag.normal_gravity.ReferenceEllipsoid` to store the | ||
physical constants of ellipsoids. | ||
To create a new ellipsoid, just instantiate ``ReferenceEllipsoid`` and give it | ||
the semimajor axis ``a``, the flattening ``f``, the geocentric gravitational | ||
constant ``GM``, and the angular velocity ``omega``. | ||
All other quantities, like the gravity at the poles and equator, | ||
eccentricities, etc, are computed by the class from these 4 parameters. | ||
Available ellipsoids: | ||
* ``WGS84``:: | ||
