IonexInterface

class pride.io.IonexInterface(ionex_file: pathlib.Path)

Interface to content of IONEX files

read_data_from_ionex_file() → tuple[list[scipy.interpolate.RegularGridInterpolator], float, float]

Read data from IONEX file

Parses the IONEX file to extract the reference height of the ionospheric model, the reference radius for the Eearth, and the TEC maps. The function generates a regular grid interpolator for each TEC map, and returns them all into a list, sorted by order of appearence in the file.

Return tec_interpolators:

List of interpolators for TEC maps

Return ref_height:

Reference height of the ionospheric model

Return ref_rearth:

Reference radius of the Earth
