gnssrefl.download_rinex module

downloads RINEX files

gnssrefl.download_rinex.download_rinex(station: str, year: int, month: int, day: int, rate: str = 'low', archive: str = 'all', version: int = 2, strip: bool = False, doy_end: int = None, stream: str = 'R', samplerate: int = 30, screenstats: bool = False, dec: int = 1, save_crx: bool = False, delete_hourly: bool = True)

Command line interface for downloading RINEX files from global archives. Required inputs are station, year, month, and day. If you want to use day of year, call it as station, year, doy, 0.

decimate does not seem to do anything, at least not for RINEX 2.11 files

bkg option is changed. now must specify bkg-igs or bkg-euref

Examples

download_rinex mfle 2015 1 1

downloads January 1, 2015

download_rinex mfle 2015 52 0

Using day of year instead of month/day:
