LoadGEM:

Path: Orbit/GravityModels

% Load the GEMT1 data.
 If there is only one output it will output a data structure.
 GEM is "Goddard Earth Model". GEMT1 dates to 1987.

 Loads the GEMT1 mat-file. Corrects the c(2,1) and s(2,1) coefficients for
 consistency with the IERS Terrestrial reference frame
