This function has the following limitations:
The function excludes the centrifugal effects of planetary rotation, and the effects of a precessing reference frame.
Spherical harmonic gravity model is valid for radial positions greater than the planet equatorial radius. Minor errors might occur for radial positions near or at the planetary surface. The spherical harmonic gravity model is not valid for radial positions less than planetary surface.

Calculate the gravity in the x-axis at the equator on the surface of Earth. This example uses the default 120 degree model of EGM2008 with default warning actions:
gx = gravitysphericalharmonic( [-6378.1363e3 0 0] )
Calculate the gravity at 25000 m over the south pole of Earth. This example uses the 70 degree model of EGM96 with error actions:
[gx, gy, gz] = gravitysphericalharmonic( [0 0 -6381.751e3], 'EGM96', 'Error' )
Calculate the gravity at 15000 m over the equator and 11000 m over the North Pole. This example uses a 30th order GMM2B Mars model with warning actions:
p = [2412.648e3 -2412.648e3 0; 0 0 3397.2e3] [gx, gy, gz] = gravitysphericalharmonic( p, 'GMM2B', 30, 'Warning' )
Calculate the gravity at 15000 m over the equator and 11000 m over the North Pole. This example uses a 60th degree custom planetary model with no actions:
p = [2412.648e3 -2412.648e3 0; 0 0 3397e3] [gx, gy, gz] = gravitysphericalharmonic( p, 'custom', 60, ... {'GMM2BC80_SHA.txt' @astReadSHAFile}, 'None' )
Calculate the gravity at 25000 meters over the south pole of Earth using a 120th order EIGEN-GL04C Earth model with warning actions:
p = [0 0 -6381.751e3] [gx, gy, gz] = gravitysphericalharmonic( p, 'EIGENGL04C', ... 120, 'Warning' )
