gnssrefl.vwc_input.vwc_input(station: str, year: int, fr: int = 20, min_tracks: int = 100)

Starts the analysis for volumetric water content. Picks up reflector height (RH) results for a given station and year-year end range and computes the RH mean values and writes them to a file. These will be used to compute a consistent set of phase estimates.

Examples

vwc_input p038 2018

standard usage, station and year inputs

vwc_input p038 2018 -min_tracks 50

allow fewer values to accept a satellite track default is 100

Parameters:

  • station (str) – 4 character ID of the station

  • year (int) – full year

  • fr (int, optional) – GPS frequency. Currently only supports l2c, which is frequency 20.

  • min_tracks (int, optional) – number of minimum tracks needed in order to keep the average RH

Returns:

  • File with columns

  • index, mean reflector_heights, satellite, average_azimuth, number of reflector heights in average, min azimuth, max azimuth

  • Saves to $REFL_CODE/input/<station>_phaseRH.txt
