typhon.geodesy.geocentric2geodetic(r, lat, lon, ellipsoid=None)

Convert from geocentric to geodetic coordinates.

The geodetic coordinates refer to the reference ellipsoid specified by input ellipsoid. See module docstring for a defintion of the geocentric coordinate system.

Returns:

Geodetic height, latitude and longitude

Return type:

tuple

Parameters:

• r – Radius:

• lat – Geocentric latitude.

• lon – Geocentric longitude.

• ellipsoid – A tuple with the form (semimajor axis, eccentricity). Default is ‘WGS84’ from ellipsoidmodels.
