Abstract
An open source software package has been developed for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) interferometric reflectometry. The gnssrefl package is written in python; it can be installed from the source code, the python packaging index website, or via a docker. It includes modules that download GNSS data and orbit data from global archives. A periodogram is used to retrieve the height of the GNSS antenna over the reflecting surface using signal to noise ratio data. Signals from the Global Positioning System, Glonass, Galileo, and Beidou constellations are supported. Modules are provided to estimate volumetric water content of soil, snow depth/accumulation, and water level. Utilities for mapping and assessing reflection zones and determining the maximum resolvable height are available.
