eSWua Ground Based Scintillation Climatology (GBSC) statistical model

Description
The algorithm calculates, for a specific GNSS scintillation receiver of the eSWua network, the percentage ratio between the occurrences of the scintillation index (S4 or SigmaPhi) values exceeding a defined threshold and the total number of available observations. The percentage occurrences are evaluated within 1-hour interval (time resolution). The resulting data are organized into a matrix, with the hours of the day on the x-axis, the days of the year on the y-axis, and the percentage of scintillation occurrences represented by the values of each matrix cell.
Processing Input Parameters
- S4_l1_slant
- Amplitude Scintillation Index (S4) on L1 GNSS frequency band
- Sigmaphi_l1_slant
- Phase Scintillation Index (SigmaPhi) on L1 GNSS frequency band
- Threshold
- Value above which an observation (S4 or SigmaPhi) is considered a scintillation event.
- Elevation_mask
- Elevation mask for the satellites in the Field of View of the ground-based recevier.
- Time_range
- Time range (in UTC).
