rpos_v2_test

Syntax

rpos_v2_test --help
rpos_v2_test [-d yyyymmdd] [-stid stid] [-bm beam] [-rn gate]
rpos_v2_test [-standard] [-chisham] [-cv] [-gs] [-rear]

Synopsis

Calculates the latitude and longitude of a beam and range gate cell.

Options

`--help`	print the help message and exit.
`--version`	print the RST version number and exit.
`-d yyyymmdd`	calculate for the date yyyymmdd.
`-stid stid`	set the station identifier code to stid (default is 1 for GBR).
`-bm beam`	set the radar beam number to beam (default is 7).
`-rn gate`	set the range gate number to gate (default is 20).
`-fh height`	set the F-region virtual height for the standard model to height (default is 300 km). If height is less than 90 then it is assumed to be an elevation angle instead.
`-hop hop`	set the number of hops to hop when using an input elevation angle (default is 0.5).
`-standard`	use the standard virtual height model (default).
`-chisham`	use the Chisham et al. [2008] Saskatoon virtual height model.
`-cv`	use the Thomas and Shepherd [2022] Christmas Valley virtual height model.
`-gs`	use the ground scatter component of the Thomas et al. [2022] Christmas Valley virtual height model.
`-rear`	calculate position for the rear field of view (FOV).

Description

Calculates the latitude and longitude of a beam and range gate cell.

The latitude and longitude are written to standard output.

Examples

rpos_v2_test -stid 206 -d 20200101 -bm 21 -rn 57 -chisham

Calculates the latitude and longitude of beam 21 and range gate 57 for the Christmas Valley West (CVW) radar on 20200101 using the Chisham et al. [2008] virtual height model.
