One Kp group's coefficients — Mead & Fairfield (1975), one column of Tables 2-3.
Named rather than indexed so that the evaluator reads as the three equations in the file brief and each divergence identity names the three coefficients it relates. Templated on the scalar type for the same reason T89Parameters is: the device kernel receives these as float, and the host lane it is verified against must round them FIRST and then evaluate, or a disagreement between the lanes cannot be attributed. mead_parameters is the converter.
Units: nanotesla, with positions in Earth radii and the tilt in degrees — each coefficient's unit is whatever makes its term come out in nT.
