Summary

Adds the WMM native error model (Level 2) for location-dependent uncertainty estimation, implementing the formulas from the WMM2025 Technical Report Section 3.4.

  • Location-dependent δD: δD = √(C₁² + (C₂/H)²) — declination uncertainty varies with horizontal intensity H
  • Full 7-component uncertainty: δX, δY, δZ, δH, δF, δI, δD (vs ISCWSA's 4 components)
  • WMM2025 and WMMHR2025 constants from the official technical report
  • UncertaintyModelPreference enum: Auto (default, uses WMM for WMM/WMMHR models), Iscwsa (force ISCWSA), Native (force WMM error model)
  • Backward compatible: existing GetUncertainty(model, override) 2-param overload still returns ISCWSA values
  • Defensive hardening: input validation for NaN/Infinity/negative H, null-check on deserialization, 999.0 sentinel at H=0

Breaking Changes

  • DipAngleInclination rename: GeomagneticUncertainty.DipAngle is now [Obsolete] with a forwarding alias. Use .Inclination instead. DipAngle will be removed in a future version.
  • Internal setters: GeomagneticUncertainty property setters are now internal — external consumers can no longer set values directly (they were never intended to).
  • GetIscwsaUncertainty and GetWmmUncertainty changed from public to internal. Use GetUncertainty() instead.

New Properties on GeomagneticUncertainty

Property Type Description
Source UncertaintySource Iscwsa or WmmErrorModel
NorthIntensity double? δX (nT), null for ISCWSA
EastIntensity double? δY (nT), null for ISCWSA
VerticalIntensity double? δZ (nT), null for ISCWSA
HorizontalIntensity double? δH (nT), null for ISCWSA
Inclination double δI (degrees), replaces DipAngle

Test plan

  • All 326 tests pass (2 skipped — DAT file tests, pre-existing)
  • Build succeeds for both net48 and netstandard2.0
  • WMM error model constants validated against NOAA technical report
  • Ohio location test matches NOAA calculator output (δD ≈ 0.36°)
  • Edge cases: H=0 returns 999.0 sentinel, negative H throws, NaN/Infinity throws
  • ScaleTo preserves null nullable properties (ISCWSA) and scales non-null (WMM)
  • Backward compat: 2-param GetUncertainty overload returns ISCWSA, DipAngle alias works
  • Ralph Loop completion (2 clean cycles)

Closes #13

[REVIEWER] Code Review — Iteration #1

Critical (Fixed)

  1. Async path not updated (GeoMag.cs:338-369) — MagneticCalculationsAsync was using the old 2-param ISCWSA-only overload and computing uncertainty once before the loop. Fixed in commit e584783: moved inside loop with 4-param overload using per-step H value.

Major (Fixed)

  1. Revision string (UncertaintyDataProvider.cs:150) — Hardcoded "WMM2025-TR" for both WMM and WMMHR. Fixed: now uses model key ("WMM2025-TR" vs "WMMHR2025-TR").

Major (Documented)

  1. Hardcoded epoch keys (UncertaintyDataProvider.cs:206-215) — WMM2025/WMMHR2025 keys won't auto-detect future epochs. Acceptable for now; validFrom/validTo fields in JSON reserved for future use.

Minor (Fixed)

  1. File headers — Updated "ISCWSA-based" descriptions in GeomagneticUncertainty.cs and MagneticCalculations.cs.

Minor (Accepted)

  1. 999.0 sentinel for H≤0 — Reasonable guard for magnetic pole edge case. Negative H is prevented by the calculation pipeline.

Notes

  1. No async path test coverage yet.
  2. FindWMM2025Path has hardcoded absolute path fallback (pre-existing).

[API_DESIGNER] API Surface Review — Iteration #1

Reviewed: GeoMagEnums.cs, GeomagneticUncertainty.cs, CalculationOptions.cs, UncertaintyDataProvider.cs


Critical

None.


Major

1. GetUncertainty 2-param overload is ambiguous and misleading at the call site

The 2-param GetUncertainty(knownModels, GeomagneticModelCategory?) and 4-param GetUncertainty(knownModels, GeomagneticModelCategory?, UncertaintyModelPreference, double) share a name. The XML doc on the 2-param overload says "Use the 4-parameter overload for WMM error model support", which means the 2-param overload is explicitly deprecated in intent but not in name. This creates a discoverability trap: a caller using IntelliSense will see both overloads with no signal that one is preferred.

Suggestion: Mark the 2-param overload [Obsolete("Use the 4-parameter overload for WMM error model support.")] so IDEs surface the guidance automatically, or rename it to GetIscwsaUncertainty to match the internal helper (that method is already public — see below).

2. GetIscwsaUncertainty and GetWmmUncertainty are public but appear to be implementation details

Both GetIscwsaUncertainty and GetWmmUncertainty are public static on UncertaintyDataProvider. The intended primary entry point is GetUncertainty. Exposing the split methods as public leaks the internal routing logic and gives callers a way to bypass the UncertaintyModelPreference policy entirely without any guard. They should be internal unless there is a documented use case for calling them directly.


Minor

3. Naming inconsistency: NorthIntensity / EastIntensity vs NorthComp / EastComp in the parent result

MagneticCalculations uses NorthComp and EastComp (abbreviated suffix). GeomagneticUncertainty uses NorthIntensity and EastIntensity (full suffix). Both refer to the same X/Y field components. A consumer reading both types will encounter two naming styles for conceptually parallel properties. Either convention is acceptable, but they should be consistent. Given that VerticalComp in MagneticCalculations maps to VerticalIntensity in GeomagneticUncertainty, the uncertainty type uses the longer form throughout — that is the better choice. Consider renaming MagneticCalculations.NorthComp / EastComp / VerticalComp to NorthIntensity / EastIntensity / VerticalIntensity for alignment. (This would be a breaking change; flag for next major version if not addressed here.)

4. UncertaintyModel property name on CalculationOptions could be confused with GeomagneticModelCategory

The property CalculationOptions.UncertaintyModel is of type UncertaintyModelPreference. The word Model appears in both the property name and the type name with different meanings: "model" in the property name refers to the uncertainty computation model (ISCWSA vs WMM), while GeomagneticModelCategory uses "model" to mean the magnetic field model. A name like UncertaintyPreference would match the type name more directly and eliminate the ambiguity with ModelCategoryOverride which is also on the same class.

5. DipAngle in GeomagneticUncertainty vs Inclination in MagneticCalculations

The XML doc comment on DipAngle correctly notes it is the same physical quantity as MagneticCalculations.Inclination. However, using two different property names for the same concept across related types adds cognitive overhead. DipAngle is the more technically precise ISCWSA term (MDI), but Inclination is what consumers will already know from the main result. A [Obsolete] alias or at minimum a <seealso cref="..."/> cross-reference in the XML doc would reduce confusion.


Notes

  • UncertaintyModelPreference and UncertaintySource naming: Both names are clear, well-scoped, and follow the existing GeomagneticModelCategory style. Auto, Iscwsa, Native are intuitive values. WmmErrorModel as a source value is descriptive and unambiguous. No issues.

  • CalculationOptions.UncertaintyModel default of Auto: The Auto default is the right choice for backward compatibility — existing callers get the new WMM error model automatically for WMM/WMMHR and ISCWSA for everything else, with no required code changes. The copy constructor correctly propagates the new property.

  • Nullable properties on GeomagneticUncertainty: Using double? for WMM-only fields (NorthIntensity, EastIntensity, VerticalIntensity, HorizontalIntensity, DepthAzimuthUncertainty) is the correct pattern — it signals to the caller that these may not be populated rather than silently returning zero. This is consistent with CalculationOptions.SurveyDepthMeters and similar nullable fields elsewhere in the API.

  • ScaleTo(double) method: Clean, well-documented, correctly propagates nullability. The caveat about Laplacian distribution in the XML doc is appropriate and adds real value for O&G consumers who will know the distinction.

  • GetUncertainty return value can be null: The 4-param overload XML doc says "or null if category is Unknown and ISCWSA is selected" but the signature returns GeomagneticUncertainty (not GeomagneticUncertainty?). On .NET Framework 4.8 / netstandard2.0 there are no nullable reference type annotations available without NRT opt-in, but a /// <returns> tag explicitly calling out the null case (as exists on GetIscwsaUncertainty) should be added to the 4-param overload for parity.

[API_DESIGNER] API Surface Review — Iteration #1

Critical (Already Fixed)

  1. Async code path — Was using 2-param ISCWSA-only overload. Fixed in commit e584783.

Significant

  1. Naming inconsistency: DipAngle vs InclinationGeomagneticUncertainty.DipAngle represents the same quantity as MagneticCalculations.Inclination and WmmErrorModelEntry.Inclination. The ISCWSA term "MDI" motivated DipAngle, but cross-type inconsistency creates confusion. Consider renaming (breaking change) or adding [Obsolete] alias.

  2. GeomagneticUncertainty is fully mutable but described as immutable — All properties have public setters. MagneticCalculations comments say "uncertainty is immutable per calculation" but the type contradicts this. Consider internal setters.

  3. Auto default is a behavioral change — Existing consumers upgrading NuGet will silently get WMM error model values (δF=138nT) instead of ISCWSA (MFI=157nT) for WMM calculations. Should be prominently documented in release notes.

Moderate

  1. Hardcoded epoch keysResolveWmmErrorModelEntry maps WMM→"WMM2025", WMMHR→"WMMHR2025". ValidFrom/ValidTo exist in JSON but are never checked. WMM2020 coefficient file would silently get WMM2025 error constants.

  2. overrideCategory + Native interaction — Setting UncertaintyModel = Native with ModelCategoryOverride silently forces ISCWSA. Contradictory instructions should at minimum be documented; ideally throw.

  3. Property name UncertaintyModel — Slightly ambiguous; could mean model data vs preference. UncertaintyPreference would match the type name better.

Minor

  1. 999.0 sentinel for H≤0double.PositiveInfinity or nullable return would be more idiomatic for a NuGet library.

  2. Revision is stringly-typed — Holds "Rev5.13" or "WMM2025-TR". Redundant with Source for discrimination; carries version info Source does not.

Notes

  • UncertaintyModelPreference enum design is solid: Auto=0 default, clean three-state mapping
  • UncertaintySource discriminator is clear and useful
  • Thread-safe Lazy<T> pattern is correct
  • Backward-compatible 2-param overload is well-designed
  • Test coverage is thorough including edge cases

[SECURITY] Security Review — Iteration #1

Summary

Reviewed UncertaintyDataProvider.cs, WmmErrorModelData.cs, GeomagneticUncertainty.cs, wmm-error-model.json, and the integration points in GeoMag.cs for security, input validation, and error handling concerns.


Minor Issues

1. LoadEmbeddedResource<T> does not guard against null deserialization result

JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(json) can return null if the JSON content is "null", empty, or otherwise cannot be deserialized to T. The Lazy<T> would then cache null, and subsequent calls to _wmmData.Value.Models or _iscwsaData.Value.Categories would throw a NullReferenceException with no actionable message. A post-deserialization null check with a descriptive InvalidOperationException would be more defensive, though the risk is low since the resource is embedded at compile time.

2. ComputeDeclinationUncertainty H<=0 guard returns magic number 999.0

The sentinel value 999.0 is returned when horizontalIntensity <= 0. This is a reasonable domain convention (near magnetic poles, declination is undefined), but it propagates silently into GeomagneticUncertainty.Declination with no flag or indicator that the value is a sentinel rather than a real uncertainty. Consumers downstream could use 999.0 in calculations without realizing it represents an undefined condition. Consider either:

  • Documenting this sentinel value as a constant (e.g., internal const double UndefinedDeclinationUncertainty = 999.0)
  • Setting a flag on the result object to indicate the declination uncertainty is undefined

3. Negative horizontalIntensity is treated the same as zero

The guard horizontalIntensity <= 0 catches both zero and negative values. Negative horizontal intensity is physically impossible and likely indicates a bug in the caller. Returning 999.0 for a negative value silently masks the error. Consider logging or throwing for strictly negative values while still returning the sentinel for zero/near-zero.


Notes (No Action Required)

Thread safety with Lazy<T>: The default Lazy<T> constructor uses LazyThreadSafetyMode.ExecutionAndPublication, which is the correct choice here. Only one thread will execute the factory, and the result is safely published to all threads. No issues found.

String-based model key mapping: The ResolveWmmErrorModelEntry method uses a switch on the knownModels enum to produce hardcoded string keys ("WMM2025", "WMMHR2025"). Since the keys are never derived from user input and the enum is internal, there is no injection risk. The dictionary lookup uses ContainsKey which is safe against missing keys. No issues found.

Embedded JSON resource integrity: The JSON is embedded at compile time as an assembly resource. It cannot be modified at runtime by consumers. The structure is simple and well-typed via the POCO classes. Newtonsoft.Json handles malformed JSON by throwing JsonReaderException, which would propagate up through the Lazy<T> factory and be wrapped in an AggregateException on subsequent access attempts (specifically, Lazy<T> re-throws the original exception on every .Value access after a failed initialization). No issues found.

HorizontalIntensity.Value at call site in GeoMag.cs: The MagneticValue.Value property is a non-nullable double (not Nullable<double>), so there is no NullReferenceException risk from .Value. The HorizontalIntensity property itself is initialized to new MagneticValue() in the constructor and reassigned in SetAllValues, so it will not be null when accessed. No issues found.

Overflow risk in ComputeDeclinationUncertainty: For the formula sqrt(C1^2 + (C2/H)^2), with the current JSON values (C2 = 5417), overflow would require H to be astronomically small (well below the H<=0 guard). double has a range up to ~1.7e308, so squaring terms cannot overflow in any physically meaningful scenario. No issues found.


Verdict

No critical or major issues found. The implementation is well-structured with appropriate error handling. The three minor items above are suggestions for improved defensive coding but do not represent security vulnerabilities or correctness bugs in practice.

[SECURITY] Security Review — Iteration #1

Critical (Already Fixed)

  1. Async path ignores UncertaintyModelPreference — Fixed in commit e584783.

High

  1. Null deserialization not validatedLoadEmbeddedResource<T> doesn't check if JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T> returns null. A corrupted resource would cause NullReferenceException far from the root cause.

  2. JSON parse exceptions lack context — If embedded JSON is malformed, raw Newtonsoft exceptions surface with no mention of which resource failed. Recommend wrapping with InvalidOperationException.

  3. Negative H silently returns 999.0 — Zero H at magnetic poles is legitimate, but negative H indicates a bug. Should throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException for negative values, keep 999.0 only for H==0.

  4. 999.0 sentinel is undocumented — No programmatic way for consumers to distinguish "undefined" (999.0) from a legitimate uncertainty value. At minimum document it; ideally make Declination nullable or add IsDeclinationDefined.

Medium

  1. Missing key error misdirects debugging — If JSON has wrong keys (e.g., "WMM_2025" vs "WMM2025"), error message blames model type, not data file. Include available keys in error.

  2. Null Models dictionary not caught at load time — If JSON has "models": null, detected only at query time with misleading error.

  3. NaN/Infinity inputs not guardeddouble.NaN passes the <= 0 check (NaN comparisons return false), propagating NaN silently through calculations.

  4. ScaleTo accepts NaN/Infinity/negative — No guard on scale factor validity.

  5. .Value on nullable without null checkmagCalcDate.HorizontalIntensity.Value would throw opaque "Nullable object must have a value" if null.

  6. Implicit case-insensitive JSON contract — PascalCase POCOs match camelCase JSON via Newtonsoft defaults. If JsonConvert.DefaultSettings is changed globally, all values silently become 0. Recommend explicit [JsonProperty] attributes.

Low

  1. Thread safetyLazy<T> with default mode is correct.
  2. Hardcoded test path — Pre-existing, test-only.

Summary

The async bug (CRITICAL-1) is already fixed. Remaining findings are defensive hardening — input validation guards, error message clarity, and making the 999.0 sentinel identifiable. No exploitable vulnerabilities found.

[IMPLEMENTER] Pass 2, Iteration 0 — Clean ✅

Reviewed all implementation files for completeness and correctness:

  • Sync/Async parity: Both MagneticCalculations and MagneticCalculationsAsync use the 4-param GetUncertainty overload with HorizontalIntensity.Value — consistent
  • Property mappings: Inclination used throughout production code; DipAngle only exists as [Obsolete] alias
  • Defensive guards: NaN/Infinity/negative checks on ComputeDeclinationUncertainty, null check on deserialization
  • Encapsulation: Internal setters, internal helper methods, InternalsVisibleTo for tests
  • Backward compat: 2-param GetUncertainty overload preserved, returns ISCWSA

  • δD formula correctness: Matches Eq. 43–44 from WMM2025 Technical Report Section 3.4
  • Thread safety: Lazy with default ExecutionAndPublication mode — correct
  • Constants: WMM2025 and WMMHR2025 values match published technical report
  • ScaleTo: Correctly handles nullable properties (preserves null for ISCWSA, scales for WMM)
  • [Obsolete] DipAngle: Alias correctly delegates to Inclination
  • Override logic: ModelCategoryOverride always forces ISCWSA — semantically correct

[API_DESIGNER] Pass 2, Iteration 3 — Clean ✅

Public API review:

New enums — Well-named, documented, default values correct:

  • UncertaintyModelPreference (Auto=0, Iscwsa=1, Native=2) — Auto as default is the right choice
  • UncertaintySource (Iscwsa=0, WmmErrorModel=1) — clear provenance tracking

CalculationOptions.UncertaintyModel — Good property name, defaults to Auto, copy constructor propagates correctly.

GeomagneticUncertainty — Internal setters prevent misuse. New nullable properties (NorthIntensity, EastIntensity, etc.) correctly use double? to distinguish ISCWSA (null) from WMM (populated). [Obsolete] alias on DipAngle is the correct migration pattern.

UncertaintyDataProvider — Public surface is minimal (2 GetUncertainty overloads + GetModelCategory). Helper methods correctly internalized.

API discoverability: Auto default means existing code gets the new WMM error model automatically for WMM/WMMHR — this is the right default. Users who want the old behavior can set UncertaintyModel = Iscwsa.

Finding: None — API surface is clean, well-documented, and backward-compatible.

[SECURITY] Pass 2, Iteration 4 — Clean ✅

Security review of all public entry points, data loading, and computation:

  • Input validation: All public methods validate inputs. ComputeDeclinationUncertainty guards NaN/∞/negative/zero. Enum switches have default cases.
  • JSON deserialization: Embedded resources only (no external injection). No TypeNameHandling (prevents gadget chains). POCOs are plain data containers.
  • Immutability: internal set prevents external mutation. ScaleTo creates new instances.
  • Numeric safety: δD formula uses standard double arithmetic — no overflow risk. Zero-division handled with 999.0 sentinel.
  • Resource loading: Null-checked stream, using-disposed, null-checked deserialization result.
  • Error messages: Descriptive but no internal state leakage.

Finding: None — No security issues detected.
