+Python 3 Atmospheric Phase Screen 
+
+This python 3 module estimates differential phase delay maps due to the stratified atmosphere for correcting radar interferograms. It is rewritten in Python 3 language from PYAPS source code and adapted for ECMWF's ERA-5 corrections. The metholody and validation of DelayPackage can be found in:

+Warning: PyAPS3 could not work with NARR and MERRA weather models. Feel free to modify these parts of the code.
