Introduction of occultation simulation software SHAOOS
Abstract
The GPS radio occultation simulation software SHAOOS which was designed by Shanghai Astronomical Observatory and the Mathematics Department, Wenzhou Normal College in 2002 is based on the ray-tracing technique and on the refraction theory. SHAOOS provides multifunctional computation simulations for GPS/LEO radio occultation technique research. The basic mathematical method, physical background, program structure and application functions of SHAOOS are briefly reviewed in this paper.
