Earth reference ellipsoids.

The reference ellipsoid (refellipsoid) is set to model the Earth, following different models. The options are:

• “Sphere”:

  A spherical Earth. The radius is set following the value set for the Earth radius in constants.cc.

• “WGS84”:

  The reference ellipsoid used by the GPS system. Should be the standard choice for a non-spherical Earth.
