class
Nvector
(normal, z=0, frame=None)[source][source]¶ Geographical position given as n-vector and depth in frame E
Parameters: - normal: 3 x n array
n-vector(s) [no unit] decomposed in E.
- z: real scalar or vector of length n.
Depth(s) [m] relative to the ellipsoid (depth = -height)
- frame: FrameE object
reference ellipsoid. The default ellipsoid model used is WGS84, but other ellipsoids/spheres might be specified.

Notes
The position of B (typically body) relative to E (typically Earth) is given into this function as n-vector, n_EB_E and a depth, z relative to the ellipsiod.
