  Convert geodetic (GDZ) coordinates to geocentric geographic

  Parameters:
    gdzvec array-like

      Nx3 array of geodetic altitude, latitude, longitude (in specified units)

  Returns:
    out numpy.ndarray

      Nx3 array of geocentric geographic x, y, z coordinates

  Other Parameters:
    units str

      Units for input geodetic altitude. Options are ‘km’ or ‘Re’. Default is ‘km’. Output units will be the same as input units.

    geoid spacepy.ctrans.Ellipsoid

      Instance of a reference ellipsoid to use for geodetic conversion. Default is WGS84.
