- swot_simulator.orbit_propagator.calculate_orbit(parameters: Parameters, ephemeris: TextIO) Orbit[source]#
Computes the orbit nadir on a subdomain.
The path of the satellite is given by the orbit file and the subdomain corresponds to the one in the model. Note that a subdomain can be manually added in the parameters file.
- Parameters
parameters (settings.Parameters) – Simulation parameters.
ephemeris (TextIO) – Stream to the ephemeris CSV file to be processed.
- Returns
The orbit’s loaded into memory.
