Since the rotation measure is determined by both electron density and the magnetic field strength, Ionosphere needs to know the Earth magnetic field. The current version relies on a FORTRAN routine within PIM, which in turn uses the IGRF model. Because IGRF is already incorporated into the AIPS++ Measures system (see, e.g., MVEarthMagnetic, EarthMagneticMachine), I plan to implement a C++ version of this routine in the near future.
