- MODIFICATION HISTORY:
-
- DATE PURPOSE BY
-
- 930208 Modified to avoid singularity near polar region. EBJ
- 930602 Moved backwards calcs here from ls_step. EBJ
- 931214 Changed erroneous Latitude and Altitude variables to
- *lat_geod and *alt in routine ls_geoc_to_geod. EBJ
- 940111 Changed header files from old ls_eom.h style to ls_types,
- and ls_constants. Also replaced old DATA type with new
- SCALAR type. EBJ
-
- CURRENT RCS HEADER:
-
-$Header$
-
- * Revision 1.5 1994/01/11 18:47:05 bjax
- * Changed include files to use types and constants, not ls_eom.h
- * Also changed DATA type to SCALAR type.
- *
- * Revision 1.4 1993/12/14 21:06:47 bjax
- * Removed global variable references Altitude and Latitude. EBJ
- *
- * Revision 1.3 1993/06/02 15:03:40 bjax
- * Made new subroutine for calculating geodetic to geocentric; changed name
- * of forward conversion routine from ls_geodesy to ls_geoc_to_geod.
