Because
magnetic fields have a direction, in
|
|
|
|
order
to communicate about magnetic fields,
|
|
|
we
need to define a coordinate system.
|
|
|
| • |
Three
main coordinate systems are used for
|
|
|
|
magnetometer
data:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| – |
Geographic
(XYZ)
|
|
|
| – |
Geomagnetic
(XYZ or HDZ - BEWARE!!)
|
|
| – |
Compass-type
(HDZ)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| • |
THEMIS
uses the coordinate systems:
|
|
|
geomagnetic
(XYZ) and compass-type (HDZ)
