     ;
     ; This answers one of my questions about how the coordinates for AACGM are
     ; guaranteed to be on the unit sphere. Here they compute xyz indpendently
     ; using the SH coefficients for each coordinate. They reject anything that
     ; is +/- .1 Re from the surface of the Earth. They then scale each xyz
     ; coordinate by the computed radial distance. This is a TERRIBLE way to do
     ; things... but necessary for the inverse transformation.

     ; SGS - new method that ensures position is on unit sphere and results in a
     ;       much better fit. Uses z coordinate only for sign, i.e., hemisphere.
