GROOPS 2021-09-06 release notes

Release 2021-09-06 features a redesign of the GNSS processing interface to make usage a little bit easier and more flexible. In addition, we now provide GNSS example scenarios with config files and data. Since the structure of the GNSS-related GROOPS data and metadata has changed, we recommend to download the latest version. More information can be found in the updated cookbooks and documentation.

Changes since last release

  • Interface change: Complete redesign of GnssProcessing to make usage a little bit easier and more flexible.
    • Direct use of orbits without integrating variational equations in case of fixed transmitters (e.g., PPP).
    • New class to add flexible parametrizations to the normal equation system.
    • New class to select transmitters/receivers for each parametrization.
    • Unified all transmitter classes into single class and merged all transmitter data and metadata into one folder at https://ftp.tugraz.at/outgoing/ITSG/groops/data/gnss/.
    • Example scenarios with config files at https://ftp.tugraz.at/outgoing/ITSG/groops/scenario/.
    • Updated and expanded documentation and cookbooks to reflect all GNSS-related changes.
  • New program: InstrumentAccelerometer2ThermosphericDensity: Estimate neutral density from accelerometer data.
  • New class: In Thermosphere: new model nrlmsis2
  • New class: In Condition: Matrix to evaluate matrix elements.
  • New class: In PlotMapProjection: added Mollweide map projection.
  • Bugfix: FileSatelliteModel: removed if-statement for shaded plates, not necessary when applying the algorithm following Sentman 1961
  • Other: Expression parser: constants are now defined with brackets, e.g pi().
  • Other: Additional constants in the mathematical parser like speed of light c().
