SKIMsimulator
Simulator is configurable with a parameter file, the following parameters can be tested:
- orbit
- rotation speed: from 2.5 to 3.4 tr/min
- order, position and number of beams: from 6 to 8 beam
- instrumental noise: function of the radial angle and the beam angle (6 or 12)
- Stoke parameter: G,
- Bias parameters: perc_error, area to compute std(uss), errdcos if constant
wb = G * perc_error * std(uss) * errdcos Nadir Simulator is build to be flexible to add and improve the error budget Input:
- velocity
- stoke drift
- coordinates
from any model
SKIM simulator
Output:
- grids
- radial velocity interpolated from model
- instrument noise
- Stoke biais
- radial stoke drift
- radial velocity with total noise
- nadir noise
Coded in python 3, tested with python 2.7 and 3.5 can be downloaded from oceandatalab gitlab
