      • mappingFunction

        public static double mappingFunction​(double a,
                                             double b,
                                             double c,
                                             double elevation)
        Compute the mapping function related to the coefficient values and the elevation.
        Parameters:
        a - a coefficient
        b - b coefficient
        c - c coefficient
        elevation - the elevation of the satellite, in radians.
        Returns:
        the value of the function at a given elevation
      • mappingFunction

        public static <T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>> T mappingFunction​(T a,
                                                                            T b,

        Compute the mapping function related to the coefficient values and the elevation.
        Type Parameters:
        T - type of the elements
        Parameters:
        a - a coefficient
        b - b coefficient
        c - c coefficient
        elevation - the elevation of the satellite, in radians.
        Returns:

      • computeHeightCorrection

        public static double computeHeightCorrection​(double elevation,
                                                     double height)
        This method computes the height correction for the hydrostatic component of the mapping function. The formulas are given by Neill's paper, 1996:

        Niell A. E. (1996) "Global mapping functions for the atmosphere delay of radio wavelengths,” J. Geophys. Res., 101(B2), pp. 3227–3246, doi: 10.1029/95JB03048.

        Parameters:
        elevation - the elevation of the satellite, in radians.
        height - the height of the station in m above sea level.
        Returns:
        the height correction, in m
