Simple Heliophysics Coordinate Frame Schema
The schema describes a computer parseable framework and standard set of coordinate system names for use within the metadata of Heliophysics datasets. It is based on a coordinate system names commonly within use inside existing data holdings of NASA's largest Heliophysics archive -- the Space Physics Data Facility at Goddard Space Flight Center.
{
'coordinateSystems': [
{'name' : 'GSE','description': '+X points Earth geometric center to Sun geometric center, +Z is Earth velocity cross +X, +Y completes the triad','alternateNames': ['Geocentric Solar Ecliptic', 'gse']
},
{'name' : 'GSM','description': '+X points Earth geometric center to Sun geometric center, +Y is Earth's magnetic south pole cross +X, +Z completes the triad','alternateNames': ['Geocentric Solar Magnetic', 'gsm']
}
]
