Method Detail

Parameters:

reader - custom reader to add for the gravity field

See Also:

addDefaultPotentialCoefficientsReaders(), clearPotentialCoefficientsReaders()

addDefaultPotentialCoefficientsReaders

public static void addDefaultPotentialCoefficientsReaders()

Add the default readers for gravity fields.

The default READERS supports ICGEM, SHM, EGM and GRGS formats with the default names ICGEM_FILENAME, SHM_FILENAME, EGM_FILENAME, GRGS_FILENAME and don't allow missing coefficients.

See Also:

addPotentialCoefficientsReader(PotentialCoefficientsReader), clearPotentialCoefficientsReaders()

clearPotentialCoefficientsReaders

public static void clearPotentialCoefficientsReaders()

Clear gravity field readers.

See Also:

addPotentialCoefficientsReader(PotentialCoefficientsReader), addDefaultPotentialCoefficientsReaders()

addOceanTidesReader

public static void addOceanTidesReader(OceanTidesReader reader)

Add a reader for ocean tides.

Parameters:

reader - custom reader to add for the gravity field

See Also:

addDefaultPotentialCoefficientsReaders(), clearPotentialCoefficientsReaders()

configureOceanLoadDeformationCoefficients

public static void configureOceanLoadDeformationCoefficients(OceanLoadDeformationCoefficients oldc)

Configure ocean load deformation coefficients.

Parameters:

oldc - ocean load deformation coefficients

See Also:

getOceanLoadDeformationCoefficients()

getOceanLoadDeformationCoefficients

public static OceanLoadDeformationCoefficients getOceanLoadDeformationCoefficients()

Get the configured ocean load deformation coefficients.

If configureOceanLoadDeformationCoefficients has never been called, the default value will be the IERS 2010 coefficients.

Returns:

ocean load deformation coefficients

See Also:

configureOceanLoadDeformationCoefficients(OceanLoadDeformationCoefficients)

addDefaultOceanTidesReaders

public static void addDefaultOceanTidesReaders()

Add the default READERS for ocean tides.

The default READERS supports files similar to the fes2004_Cnm-Snm.dat and fes2004.dat as published by IERS, using the configured ocean load deformation coefficients, which by default are the IERS 2010 coefficients, which are limited to degree 6. If higher degree coefficients are needed, the configureOceanLoadDeformationCoefficients method can be called prior to loading the ocean tides model with the high degree coefficients computed by Pascal Gégout.

WARNING: the files referenced in the published conventions have some errors. These errors have been corrected and the updated files can be found here: http://tai.bipm.org/iers/convupdt/convupdt_c6.html.

WARNING: as of 2013-11-17, there seem to be an inconsistency when loading one or the other file, for wave Sa (Doodson number 56.554) and P1 (Doodson number 163.555). The sign of the coefficients are different. We think the problem lies in the input files from IERS and not in the conversion (which works for all other waves), but cannot be sure. For this reason, ocean tides are still considered experimental at this date.

Parameters:

degree - maximal degree

order - maximal order

Returns:

list of tides waves containing already loaded data

Since:

6.1
