How you can help improve this code

  • Archives frequently change their file transfer protocols. If you find one in gnssrefl that doesn’t work anymore, please fix it and let us know. Please test that it works for both older and newer data.

  • If you would like to add an archive, please do so. Use the existing code in gps.py as a starting point.

  • Check the issues section of the repository and look for “help wanted.”

  • Write up a new use case

  • Investigate surface related biases.

How to get help with your gnssrefl questions

If you are new to the software, you should consider watching the videos about GNSS-IR

Before you ask for help - you should check to see if you are running the current software. Please go to the install page for help on how to update your latest docker/jupyter installs. For github/pypi, we recommend doing a clean download and new install.

You are encouraged to submit your concerns as an issue to the github repository. If you are unfamiliar with github, you can also email Kelly (enloe@unavco.org ) about Jupyter NoteBooks or Tim (dittmann@unavco.org) for commandline/docker issues.

Please

  • include the exact command or section of code you were running that prompted your question.

  • Include details such as the error message or behavior you are getting. Please copy and paste (this is preferred over a screenshot) the error string. If the string is long - please post the error string in a thread response to your question.

  • Please include the operating system of your computer.

Would you like to join our gnssrefl users email list? This is currently operated by earthscope.org. To join, please send Kristine an email.
