Given the n-vectors for positions A (n_EA_E) and B (n_EB_E), the output is the delta vector from A to B (p_AB_E).

n_EA_E_and_n_EB_E2p_AB_E(n_EA_E, n_EB_E, z_EA = 0, z_EB = 0,
a = 6378137, f = 1/298.257223563)

## Arguments

n_EA_E n-vector of position A, decomposed in E (3x1 vector) (no unit) n-vector of position B, decomposed in E (3x1 vector) (no unit) Depth of system A, relative to the ellipsoid (z_EA = -height) (m, default 0) Depth of system B, relative to the ellipsoid (z_EB = -height) (m, default 0) Semi-major axis of the Earth ellipsoid (m, default [WGS-84] 6378137) Flattening of the Earth ellipsoid (no unit, default [WGS-84] 1/298.257223563)

## Value

Position vector from A to B, decomposed in E (3x1 vector)

## Details

The calculation is exact, taking the ellipticity of the Earth into account. It is also nonsingular as both n-vector and p-vector are nonsingular (except for the center of the Earth). The default ellipsoid model used is WGS-84, but other ellipsoids (or spheres) might be specified via the optional parameters a and f.
