Add geocentric surface radius calculation to TriaxialEllipsoid #105

Closed leouieda closed 1 year ago

leouieda commented 2 years ago

Description of the desired feature:

72 added a TriaxialEllipsoid class defining only the base geometric properties. In #47 @MarkWieczorek mentioned that calculating the surface radius of the ellipsoid would be useful. Seems like a good place to start adding some computations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsoid is a good place to start with equations and references.

Are you willing to help implement and maintain this feature?

Willing to help if anyone wants to give this a shot but probably won't do it myself.
