      <Description>The eccentric magnetic local time at the fofl location is calculated following the 
procedures set down by Cole, (1963) and Fraser-Smith, (1987). The calculation 
is updated once a year using the current IGRF model field. The eccentric 
magnetic local time is returned as an angle from 0&#xBA; to 360&#xBA;, with 0&#xBA; being 
magnetic midnight, and the angle incremented by 15&#xBA; per hour magnetic local 
time. 

The local time is calculated at the sub-satellite location by assuming the local 
time is the Universal Time incremented by one hour for every 15&#xBA; east of the 
Greenwich meridian. The equation of time is not used in the calculation, so this 
variable is only approximately the true local solar time at the sub-satellite point. 
The local time is also returned as an angle from 0&#xBA; to 360&#xBA; with 0&#xBA; being midnight.</Description>
