------------------------------------------------------
Python Package for Processing Earth Gravity Field Data
------------------------------------------------------

This package processes Earth gravity field data—provided as spherical harmonic coefficients—into gridded,
domain-specific datasets. It also includes uncertainty estimation and the generation of regional mean time series.

Documentation
=============
The documentation with details on the installation, usage, and configuration can be found at
https://grace_l3.git-pages.gfz-potsdam.de/geogravl3/doc/.

Description
===========

**geogravL3** provides the processing pipeline from Level-2 data (spherical harmonic coefficients) to domain-specific
gridded Level-3 data and the computation of regional mean time series.

**Input:**

- Spherical harmonic coefficients, provided as one file per time step, in either **ICGEM**  (`*.gfc`), **YAML** (without file ending), or **SINEX** format (`*.snx`).
- Configuration file steering the processing steps. Either in **Json** format (`*.json`) or **XML** format (`*.xml`).


**Output**

- **NetCDF files** (`*.nc`) per domain containing gridded data
- **CSV files** (`*.csv`) per domain containing mean regional time series

Processing Details
------------------

Details of the processing steps, or their omission, are govern by the configuration file. Details on the configuration
file is provided at https://grace_l3.git-pages.gfz-potsdam.de/geogravl3/doc/config.html.

Domain-Independent Processing Steps
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Removal of the mean field
- Filtering of spherical harmonic coefficients:
  - **DDK**
  - **Gaussian filter**
  - **VDK** (requires SINEX input)
- Replacement of **C20** and **C30** with external data
- Subtraction of the **GIA model**
- Estimation and insertion of geocentre motion coefficients (**C10**, **C11**, **S11**)
- Subtraction of the **161-day aliased signal**

Domain-Specific Processing Steps
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Land — Terrestrial Water Storage (TWS)
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
- Spherical harmonic synthesis
- Masking of the ocean
- Uncertainty estimation based on open-ocean noise

Ocean — Ocean Bottom Pressure (OBP)
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

- Spherical harmonic synthesis (land and ocean domains only)
- Separation of the ocean signal into:
  - **Barystatic sea level**, estimated via the sea-level equation
  - **Residual circulation**
- Uncertainty estimation based on residual time-series signals

Ice Sheets — Greenland and Antarctica
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

- Gridded data estimated using the **sensitivity-kernel approach**
- Uncertainty estimation based on residual time-series signals

This software package was developed under ESA contract **4000145266/24/NL/SC – NGGM and MAGIC End-to-End Mission
Performance Evaluation Study**.

The scientific and methodological development was led by Eva Boergens (eva.boergens@gfz.de).
Martin Horwath (martin.horwath@tu-dresden.de) contributed the ice-processing methodology. A complete list of
contributors—covering both software development and the heritage code that was translated into Python as part of
this project—is available `here <https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/grace_l3/geogravl3/-/blob/main/AUTHORS.rst>`__.


The FERN.Lab (fernlab@gfz.de) contributed to the development, documentation, continuous integration,
and testing of the package.
This package was created using Cookiecutter_ and the `fernlab/cookiecutter-py-package`_ project template.
