A GNSS reflectometry software package
Project description
gnssrefl
Our documentation is available here.
A long time ago - and in a galaxy far, far away - Bob King told a group of graduate students why he liked GPS observation files. His answer:
There are no leap seconds.
I agree with Bob King. This software is meant to be used with GPS time. All files should be in GPS time. Conversion to UTC is something you should do on your own.
September 12, 2023: Updated nmea2snr to allow signals other than L1.
August 2, 2023: Updated azimuth outputs for gnssir and quickLook so that the azimuth of the rising or setting part of the arc is reported rather than the average azimuth, as was done in the older versions.
July 7, 2023: The newarcs option had a bug in it: the refraction correction was not being applied. While the refraction correction is not very important for some applications (snow, soil moisture), using it sometimes and not using it other times IS NOT GOOD. You will see a bias in time series when you switched. This bug is fixed as of version 1.4.1 I will be removing all versions (1.3.16 up to 1.4.1) from pypi that have this bug. If you were using the newarcs option in the last month, you need to rerun gnssir and any downstream codes (subdaily, daily_avg etc). This bug has no impact on the data translation codes (rinex2snr, nmea2snr).
How do you find out which version are you running? Type pip list | grep gnssrefl

GNSS-IR was developed with funding from NSF (ATM 0740515, EAR 0948957, AGS 0935725, EAR 1144221, AGS 1449554) and
NASA (NNX12AK21G and NNX13AF43G). gnssrefl
was initially developed
as a fun post-retirement project, followed by support from NASA (80NSSC20K1731).
