Geocentric systems have been described by Russell (1971)
and Hapgood (1992) with corrections given in
Hapgood (1995) and Hapgood (1997)10.
You will also find a comprehensive introduction in
Appendix 3 of Kivelson and Russell (1995).
The ESA SPENVIS system contains an extensive description of
geocentric systems 11.
A software package by J.-C. Kosik is also maintained and documented at
the Centre de Données de la Physique des Plasmas
12.
We do not describe systems relevant for observations from the Earth
surface, see [S., Ch.4] for a decription of these systems.
