Class EstimatedModel

org.orekit.models.earth.troposphere.EstimatedModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

TroposphericModel, ParameterDriversProvider

public class EstimatedModel
extends Object
implements TroposphericModel

An estimated tropospheric model. The tropospheric delay is computed according to the formula:

δ = δ_h * m_h + (δ_t - δ_h) * m_w

With:

• δ_h: Tropospheric zenith hydro-static delay.
• δ_t: Tropospheric total zenith delay.
• m_h: Hydro-static mapping function.
• m_w: Wet mapping function.

The mapping functions m_h(e) and m_w(e) are computed thanks to a model initialized by the user. The user has the possibility to use several mapping function models for the computations: the Global Mapping Function, or the Niell Mapping Function

The tropospheric zenith delay δ_h is computed empirically with a tropospheric model while the tropospheric total zenith delay δ_t is estimated as a ParameterDriver, hence the wet part is the difference between the two.

12.1
