PYACS is a set of scripts and python modules for analyzing and modeling geodetic data. PYACS includes 4 components:

• a set a core packages handling coordinates, time, estimators, format conversions

• pyacs_make_time_series.py is a script to express free GNSS solutions in a single reference frame and produce time series

• the Gts module allows versatile time series analysis either for individual or for a group of time series.

• a package dedicated to GNSS velocity fields analysis, including Euler pole calculation and basic strain rate analysis

PYACS works well under Anaconda with python >= 3.8. Get the latest version of PYACS from the release directory and install it with pip.

pip install pyacs-XXX.tar.gz

You might prefer to install it under a dedicated conda virtual env

conda create -n env_pyacs python=3.9 ipython
conda activate env_pyacs
pip install pyacs-XXX.tar.gz

ipyacs.py is a useful script for interactive time series visualization and analysis under ipython. It is convenient to add an alias in your shell configuration file

alias ipyacs='ipython `which ipyacs.py` -i'

PYACS has been developed by Jean-Mathieu Nocquet and Dinh Trong Tran as part of his PhD.
