This is a Python implementation of the latest World Magnetic Model High Resolution(WMMHR) by the Cooperative Institute For Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), University of Colorado. The software computes all the geomagnetic field components from the WMM model for a specific date and location. 
The World Magnetic Model High Resolution (WMMHR) is an advanced geomagnetic field model that provides a more detailed, accurate depiction of the geomagnetic field than the World Magnetic Model ([WMM](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/world-magnetic-model)). 

WMMHR2025 includes core field and secular variation coefficients for degrees n = 1 to 15. This model also covers the crustal field (from n=16 through n=133).  As a result, it has more coefficients (18,210 non-zero coefficients instead of 336) and more digits (4 instead of 1) in each coefficient.

**For more information about the WMMHR model, please visit [WMMHR](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/world-magnetic-model-high-resolution)** website.

```
pip install wmmhr 
```

It will output the magnetic components and uncertainty values. To get the detail of the outputs, please see **[Description of the WMM magnetic components](https://github.com/CIRES-Geomagnetism/wmm/blob/check_nmax/description.md)**


## WMMHR Python API Quick Start

**WARNING:** Input arrays of length 50,000 datapoints require ~16GB of memory.
Users may input scalars, vectors, and combinations thereof. However, all input vectors must have the same length. 

```python
from wmmhr import wmmhr_calc
model = wmmhr_calc()
lat = [23.35, 24.5]
lon = [40, 45]
alt = [21, 21]

year = [2025, 2026]
month = [12, 1]
day = [6, 15]

# set up time
model.setup_time(year, month, day)
# set up the coordinates
model.setup_env(lat, lon, alt)
```

Get all the geomagnetic elements

```python
mag_map = model.get_all()
```
It will return 

```python
{'x': array([33828.95752178, 33505.44405357]), 'y': array([2171.53955086, 1932.26765383]), 'z': array([23865.06803054, 26184.61762661]), 'h': array([33898.58331894, 33561.1149921 ]), 'f': array([41456.66922383, 42567.38939334]), 'dec': array([3.67287636, 3.3006066 ]), 'inc': array([35.14607142, 37.96160489]), 'dx': array([ 9.74138229, 14.15269211]), 'dy': array([-3.08678058, -4.24326699]), 'dz': array([39.2944816 , 33.10674659]), 'dh': array([ 9.52363521, 13.88491134]), 'df': array([30.40773033, 31.3122469 ]), 'ddec': array([-0.00626134, -0.00862321]), 'dinc': array([0.03682951, 0.02363721])}
```

## WMMHR Python API Reference

### 1. Change the resolution(max degree) of the model

**wmmhr_calc(nmax=133)**

The default maximum degree for WMMHR is 133. Users allow to assign the max degree from 1 to 133 to WMMHR Python API.
```python
from wmm import wmm_calc
model = wmm_calc(nmax=100)
```

### 2. Set up time 

**setup_time(year**=None, **month**=None, **day**=None, **dyear** = None)


User can set up the time either by providing year, month, day or decimal year.
If users don't call or assign any value to `setup_time()`, the current time will be used to compute the model.

For example, 
```python
from wmmhr import wmmhr_calc
model = wmmhr_calc()
model.setup_time(2024, 12, 30)
```
or 
```python
from wmmhr import wmmhr_calc
model = wmmhr_calc()
model.setup_time(dyear=2025.1)
```

User allow to assign the date from "2024-11-13" to "2030-01-01"

### 3. Set up the coordinates

**setup_env(lat**, **lon**, **alt**, **unit**="km", **msl**=True)
```python
from wmmhr import wmmhr_calc
model = wmmhr_calc()
lat, lon, alt = 50.3, 100.4, 0
model.setup_env(lat, lon, alt, unit="m")
```

The default unit and type of altitude is kilometer(km) and mean sea level. 
Assign the parameter for unit and msl, if the latitude is not in km or ellipsoid height.
`m` for meter and `feet` for feet. 

For example,
```python
from wmmhr import wmmhr_calc
model = wmmhr_calc()
model.setup_env(lat, lon, alt, unit="m", msl=True)
```

### 4. Get the geomagnetic elements

##### wmmhr_calc.get_all()

After setting up the time and coordinates for the WMMHR model, you can get all the geomagnetic elements by

```python
from wmmhr import wmmhr_calc
model = wmmhr_calc()
lat, lon, alt = 50.3, 100.4, 0
year, month, day = 2025, 3, 30
model.setup_env(lat, lon, alt, unit="m", msl=True)
model.setup_time(year, month, day)
mag_map = model.get_all()
```

which will return all magnetic elements in dict type.
