WMM2015

WMM2015 World Magnetic Model...in simple, object-oriented Python. WMM2020 is also available. Tested on Linux, Mac and Windows. Most C compilers work. At this time Visual Studio is not supported since MSVC doesn't export function symbols without additional headers, which is typically done with something like SWIG.

python -m pip install wmm2015

Optionally, to get the cutting-edge development version:

git clone https://github.com/space-physics/wmm2015
