13** Given:
14** p double latitude (geodetic, radians)
15** h double height above reference spheroid (geodetic, metres)
16**
17** Returned:
18** *r double distance from Earth axis (AU)
19** *z double distance from plane of Earth equator (AU)
20**
21** Notes:
22**
23** 1) Geocentric latitude can be obtained by evaluating atan2(z,r).
24**
25** 2) IAU 1976 constants are used.
