Data used by Ionosphere

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.
