geodetic.geodetic2geocentric(pos: Vector3, ell: Vector2) → Vector3

Converts geodetic coordinates to geocentric coordinates

This radius is the distance to the polar axis from the reference ellipsoid surface in the local nadir direction.

Parameters:

• pos (Vector3) – Geodetic position (h,lat,lon)

• ell (Vector2) – Ellipsoid (a,b)

Returns:

pos – Geocentric position (r,lat,lon)

Return type:

Vector3
