Grs2PotentialCoefficients
This program creates potential coefficients from the defining constants of a Geodetic Reference System (GRS). The potential coeffiencts excludes the centrifugal part. The form of the reference ellipsoid is either determined by the dynamical form factor J2, or the geometric inverseFlattening. One of those form parameters must be specified.
The default values create the GRS80.
