Add tool for calculating AACGM geomagnetic latitude and longitude #529

Open PluckZK opened 1 year ago

Is it possible to add an interface for converting other coordinates (such as GEO coordinates) to AACGM coordinates? Thanks very much

I believe there is a Python package that implements the AACGM version 2 library calls. It should be fairly straightforward to write a wrapper routine to do AACGM transforms to and from tplot variables....thanks for the suggestion, and we will start working on it.
