PRC_proc

ANSI-C program: PRC_proc.c

NAME
PRC_proc - extract state vectors from ERS and Envisat  precision orbit state vector files and store in an MSP processing parameter file

SYNOPSIS
PRC_proc <proc_par> <PRC > [nstate]

<PROC_par> MSP processing parameter file
<PRC> PRC state vector file
[nstate] number of state vectors to extract  (default=5)

EXAMPLE
PRC_proc p4180.slc.par PRC_920429_04123_rev2 9

DESCRIPTION
PRC_proc reads ERS-1, ERS-2, and Envisat  precision state vector files and extracts a specified number of state vectors that bracket the raw data set. The state vectors are written into the MSP processing parameter file along with the start time and time interval between state vectors. The PRC files consist of 130 byte text records containing the Julian date and time of the state vector data, the position, velocity and attitude of the ERS sensor, and data quality information. State vectors are given on 30 second intervals. The default number of state vectors is 5 spaced at 30 second intervals is adequate unless multiple frames are processed. Up to 64 state vectors can be extracted. Format of the PRC data file records is described in an ESA document available from the ESA ESRIN website and is defined in the typedef_MSP.h file.
