atmospheric_fieldSchmidthFieldFromIGRF

Workspace.atmospheric_fieldSchmidthFieldFromIGRF(self, atmospheric_field: pyarts3.arts.AtmField | None = None, time: pyarts3.arts.Time | None = None) → None

For forward calculations, this should be similar to atmospheric_fieldIGRF().

What it does different is that it is 1) not a direct computations matching the IGRF field, instead averaging the Legendre coefficient matrices.

What it does very different is that it supports retrievals of the magnetic field Legendre coefficients.

This is very much a WIP and not well tested.

The IGRF model is available via Alken et al. [1].
