<p> Overview
</font>
<p> We present FORTRAN and MATLAB software for fast and accurate evaluation of
the components of the geomagnetic field represented in high degree (above 720) solid spherical or ellipsoidal harmonics
at many scattered points in the space above the surface of the Earth.
<p> The evaluated magnetic field components are:
<ul>
<li> North component in geocentric coordinates (in nT 'nanoTesla')
<li> East component in geocentric coordinates (in nT)
<li> Down component in geocentric coordinates (in nT)
<li> North component in geodetic coordinates (in nT)
<li> East component in geodetic coordinates (in nT)
<li> Down component in geodetic coordinates (in nT)
<li> Horizontal intensity (in nT)
<li> Total intensity (in nT)
<li> Inclination (in decimal degrees)
<li> Declination (in decimal degrees)
</ul>
The values of the components are derived from the official NOAA Enhanced Magnetic Models EMM2015 or EMM2017.
These models are determined by their coefficients, given
in the files <font face="Courier New">EMM2015.COF</font> and <font face="Courier New">EMM2015SV.COF</font> for EMM2015 and
in the files <font face="Courier New">EMM2017.COF</font> and <font face="Courier New">EMM2017SV.COF</font> for EMM2017.
<p> The standard algorithm for evaluation of the above magnetic field components is relatively slow due to the high degree of the EMM.
Our algorithm performs several hundred times faster than the standard algorithm and evaluate every quantity with a guaranteed accuracy of less than 1 nT.
<p> The codes evaluate the magnetic field at millions of points given by their geodetic geographic coordinates:
latitude, longitude and the height above the Earth reference ellipsoid.
The height ranges from -0.417 km to 1,000 km.
