gnssanalysis
The package encompasses various GNSS-related functionality such as efficient reading and writing GNSS files (e.g. SINEX, SP3, CLK, IONEX and many others), advanced analysis and comparison, various coordinate transformations including geodetic frame rotations, predictions and combinations. Package Solver.Install
pip install gnssanalysis
File formats supported
- BLQ
- BSX/BIA
- CLK
- ERP
- IONEX
- NANU
- RINEX
- SINEX (including discontinuity, post-seismic file formats)
- SP3
- TROP
- GINAN proprietary formats: PEA partials, POD output, STEC and TRACE
Standalone utilities
There is a set of standalone utilities installed together with the module module which are build on top of gnssanalysis.diffutil
A utility originally created for automated testing of the computed GNSS files relative to the known good solution files. The simplest use case for thediffutil is to call it with two GNSS files specified after -i:
diffutil -i file1 file2
diffutil parses files' extensions and automatically calls a command needed, e.g. sp3 for file.sp3. It is also possible to specify the command manually in case file extensions are non-standard or missing.
diffutil -i file1 file2 sp3 # sp3 is a command inside diffutil
snxmap
Reads any number of sinex files given, specifically the SITE/ID block and creates an interactive html map with all the stations plotted. Every file will get a unique color marker, with decreasing size for each additional marker, constructing "lollipops" at common stations. This allows seeing intersections of stations within files to be easily seen. The sinex files may also be compressed (either .Z or .gz)How to use:
snxmap snxfile1 snxfile2.Z snxfile3.gz -o pathtooutput
sp3merge
Merges any number of sp3 files together creating sp3 file of any length. Could also accept clk files to populate merged sp3 with clock offset values.How to use:
sp3merge -s file1.sp3 file2.sp3.Z file3.sp3.gz -c file1.clk file2.clk.Z file3.clk.gz log2snx
A utility to parse collection of igs-format station files and create a sinex file with required station information - location, station hardware etc.How to use:
log2snx -l "~/logfiles//log"
trace2mongo (needs update)
Converts tracefile to the mongo database that is compatible with Ginan's mongo output for EDAgnss-filename
Determines appropriate filename for GNSS based on the contentorbq
Compares two sp3 files and outputs statistics to the terminal window.How to use:

clkq
Compares two clk files and outputs statistics to the terminal window. How to use:clkq -i IGS2R03FIN2019199000001D30SCLK.CLK COD0R03FIN2019199000001D30SCLK.CLK

Reject satellites
You are able to provide a regex to reject satellites, e.g.:clkq -i IGS2R03FIN2019199000001D30SCLK.CLK COD0R03FIN2019199000001D30SCLK.CLK --reject "G18"

Normalisation Procedure
And you are also able to provide a normalisation parameter to choose how the data is normalised (daily, epoch), e.g.:clkq -i IGS2R03FIN2019199000001D30SCLK.CLK COD0R03FIN2019199000001D30SCLK.CLK --norm "daily"

These can also be stacked:
clkq -i IGS2R03FIN2019199000001D30SCLK.CLK COD0R03FIN2019199000001D30SCLK.CLK --norm "daily" --norm "epoch"

Some usage examples
Combination of sinex solutions files
Combination of with a frame file projected to a midday of a date of interest Usage examples:- Daily comnination with frameofday centered at midday
from gnssanalysis import gn_combi
dailycombneq = gncombi.addneq(snxfilelist=glob.glob('/data/cddis/2160/[!sio][!mig]*0.snx.Z'),frameofday=frameof_day)
- Weekly combination with frameofday centered at week's center:
weeklycombneq = gncombi.addneq(snxfilelist=glob.glob('/data/cddis/2160/[!sio][!mig]*.snx.Z'),frameofday=frameof_day)
The frame of day could be generated using a respective function from gn_frame module:
from gnssanalysis import gnframe, gndatetime
framedatetime = gndatetime.gpsweeksec2datetime(2160,43200)
frameofday = gnframe.getframeofday(dateorj2000=framedatetime, itrfpathordf = '/data/cddis/itrf2014/ITRF2014-IGS-TRF.SNX.gz',disc,psdpathor_df='/data/cddis/itrf2014/ITRF2014-psd-gnss.snx')
