public class ViennaThree
extends AbstractVienna

The Vienna 3 tropospheric delay model for radio techniques. The Vienna model data are given with a time interval of 6 hours.

The empirical coefficients b_h, b_w, c_h and c_w are computed with spherical harmonics. In that respect, they are considerably more advanced than those of VMF1 model.

Constructor Detail

ViennaThree

public ViennaThree(ViennaAProvider aProvider,
                   AzimuthalGradientProvider gProvider,
                   TroposphericModel zenithDelayProvider,
                   TimeScale utc)

Build a new instance.

aProvider - provider for a_h and a_w coefficients

gProvider - provider for AzimuthalGradientCoefficients and FieldAzimuthalGradientCoefficients

zenithDelayProvider - provider for zenith delays

utc - UTC time scale

Method Detail

mappingFactors

public double[] mappingFactors(TrackingCoordinates trackingCoordinates,
                               GeodeticPoint point,
                               PressureTemperatureHumidity weather,
                               AbsoluteDate date)

This method allows the computation of the hydrostatic and wet mapping functions. The resulting element is an array having the following form:

• double[0] = m_h(e) → hydrostatic mapping function
• double[1] = m_w(e) → wet mapping function

Parameters:

trackingCoordinates - tracking coordinates of the satellite

point - station location

weather - weather parameters

date - current date

Returns:

a two components array containing the hydrostatic and wet mapping functions.

mappingFactors

public <T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>> T[] mappingFactors(FieldTrackingCoordinates<T> trackingCoordinates,
                                                              FieldGeodeticPoint<T> point,
                                                              FieldPressureTemperatureHumidity<T> weather,
                                                              FieldAbsoluteDate<T> date)

This method allows the computation of the hydrostatic and wet mapping functions. The resulting element is an array having the following form:

• T[0] = m_h(e) → hydrostatic mapping function
• T[1] = m_w(e) → wet mapping function

Type Parameters:

T - type of the elements

Parameters:

trackingCoordinates - tracking coordinates of the satellite

point - station location

weather - weather parameters

date - current date

Returns:

a two components array containing the hydrostatic and wet mapping functions.
