Workspace Method rte_posAddRgeoid

Description

Adds a geoid radius by interpolating r_geoid.

This function assumes that the first element of rte_pos is set
to the geometric altitude for the position of the sensor.
The variable rte_pos shall contain the radius instead of the
altitude and that can be achieved by this function. The function
adds a geoid radius to the given altitude. The geoid radius is
obtained by interpolation of r_geoid. There is an error if the
given position is outside the latitude and longitude grids.
