NAME

mintpy-iono_tec - Calculate ionospheric ramps using Global Iono Maps (GIM) from GNSS-based TEC products.

DESCRIPTION

usage: iono_tec.py [-h] -g GEOM_FILE [-s TEC_SOL] [--tec-dir TEC_DIR]

[--update] [--iono-file IONO_FILE] [-i {nearest,linear3d,linear2d}] [--norotate] [--ratio SUB_TEC_RATIO] dis_file

Calculate ionospheric ramps using Global Iono Maps (GIM) from GNSS-based TEC products.

positional arguments:

displacement time-series HDF5 file, i.e. timeseries.h5

options:

show this help message and exit
geometry file including incidence/azimuthAngle.
TEC solution center (default: jpl).
igs - IGS (Final) cod - CODE (Final)
https://cddis.nasa.gov/Data_and_Derived_Products/GNSS/atmospheric_products.html
directory of downloaded GNSS TEC data (default: ${WEATHER_DIR}/GIM_IGS).
Enable update mode.
calculated LOS iono ramp time-series file.

GIM extraction:

Parameters to extract TEC at point of interest from GIM (mainly for impact demonstration).
Interpolation method to grab the GIM value at the point of interest (default: linear3d).
Rotate TEC maps along the longitude direction to compensate the correlation between the ionosphere and the Sun's position, as suggested by Schaer et al. (1998). For 'interp_method == linear3d' ONLY. (default: True).
Ratio to calculate the sub-orbital TEC from the total TEC. Set to "adaptive" for seasonally adaptive scaling.
Set to "a value" within (0,1] for a fixed scaling E.g. 0.75 for TerraSAR-X (Gisinger et al., 2021)
0.90 for Sentinel-1 (Gisinger et al., 2021)
0.69 for Sentinel-1 (Yunjun et al., 2022)
