Draping direction is calculated on an orbit-by-obit basis using MGS data from time periods when the spacecraft
was above 50-60 N planetary latitude on the Martian dayside. We use this small latitude range in an attempt to minimize
the contaminating effects of crustal magnetic fields, which are weakest in this latitude band.
Draping direction is reported as the median azimuth angle from each orbit, with 0° pointing locally Eastward from
the spacecraft, and 90° pointing locally Northward.
