SKIMsimulator Coded in python 3, tested with python 2.7 and 3.5 can be downloaded from oceandatalab gitlab Output: - grids - radial velocity interpolated from model Input: - velocity - instrument noise SKIM simulator from any model - stoke drift - Stoke biais - coordinates - radial stoke drift - radial velocity with total noise - nadir noise 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
SKIMsimulator outputs SKIM-like data has been produced for the following region: Aghulas - Gulf Stream - Oregon - FRAM - Equator - North Atlantic (with a white noise) - With two configurations 2016 2017v2 1 beams at 6º (0 and 180) 2 beams at 6º (0 and 180) - - 4 beams at 12º (0, 90, 180, 270) 5 beams at 12º (0, 77, - - w = 2.5 tr/min w = 3.4 tr/min - -
