Class GlobalMappingFunctionModel

java.lang.Object

org.orekit.models.earth.troposphere.GlobalMappingFunctionModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

MappingFunction

public class GlobalMappingFunctionModel
extends Object
implements MappingFunction

The Global Mapping Function model for radio techniques. This model is an empirical mapping function. It only needs the values of the station latitude, longitude, height and the date for the computations.

The Global Mapping Function is based on spherical harmonics up to degree and order of 9. It was developed to be consistent with the Vienna1 mapping function model.

Method Detail

mappingFactors

public double[] mappingFactors(double elevation,
                               GeodeticPoint point,
                               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

Specified by:

mappingFactors in interface MappingFunction

Parameters:

elevation - the elevation of the satellite, in radians

point - station location

date - current date

Returns:

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

mappingFactors

public <T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>> T[] mappingFactors(T elevation,
                                                              FieldGeodeticPoint<T> point,
                                                              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

Specified by:

mappingFactors in interface MappingFunction

Type Parameters:

T - type of the elements

Parameters:

elevation - the elevation of the satellite, in radians

point - station location

date - current date

Returns:

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