Frames: GEI: Geocentric Equatorial Inertial: An inertial (non‐rotating) reference frame centered at the Earth. x: points to the vernal equinox z: aligned with the Earth’s rotation axis GEO: Geocentric Earth-Fixed Frame: A rotating reference frame centered at the Earth. (Geographic coordinates) x: points towards intersection of the prime meridian and the equator z: aligned with the Earth’s rotation axis GSE: Geocentric Solar Ecliptic Frame: A rotating reference frame centered at the Earth. x: points towards the Sun z: perpendicular to the ecliptic plane (“north” of the Earth orbit) GSM: Geocentric Solar Magnetospheric Frame: A rotating reference frame centered at the Earth. x: points towards the Sun z: aligned with the magnetic dipole axis SM: Solar Magnetic Frame: A rotating reference frame centered at the Earth. x: plane defined by magnetic dipole axis and the Earth-Sun line z: aligned with the magnetic dipole axis
