GraceSstScaleModel

This programs estimate satellite-to-satellite-tracking (SST) deterministic signals due to eclipse transits and low-SNR values from post-fit residuals. The low-SNR effects are estimated by directly using the residual values. The ensemble averaging method is used to characterize the average properties of eclipse transit signal shapes across all transit events. Each shape is assigned to one arc of 3 hours (default). This can be modefied by enabling averagingInterval.
