[R] R Package That Contains Any Earth Magnetic Model

[Jason Rupert]

I guess I will broaden the question to include any Earth Geomagnetic Model, e.g. DoD World Magnetic Model (WMM).  Does there exist an R package that includes any geomagnetic model?   

Here is an example of a couple of others provided by NASA, e.g.
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/models.shtml

Unless I hear back, I guess I will investigate porting these to R as a function and then as a package.   

Thanks again for the insights and feedback.

By any chance is anyone aware of an R package that contains a representation of the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF)?

I've tracked down some Fortran and C code for the IGRF-10, and possibly IGRF-11, and was hoping to avoid an awkward port.  

Thanks again for any feedback and leads provided.
