====== Notes on Data Processing Guide ======
Written below are the notes from David Delene's [[http://www.openscienceassociates.com/delene/DataProcessingGuide.pdf|Data Processing Guide]] 
===== Software to Use =====
        - [[https://github.com/daviddelene/CoPAS | Community Packages of Airborne Science(CoPAS)]]: Github project designed to facilitate the installation, setup, and integration of open source software and packages related to cloud physics, in-situ airborne data.  
          *  CoPAS is a utility designed to make it easier to get started as a developer of community software
        - [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/adpaa/|Airborne Data Processing and Analysis (ADPAA) package]] :
            * Open-Source software package containing a collection of programs & Scripts to process & analyze data from instruments on aircraft.
            * ADPAA is designed for : 
               * Fully Automate data processing
               * Incorporate the concept of missing data

===== Access/Accounts required =====
==== Repositories(Sourceforge & Github) ====
To be a developer on ADPAA, you need a SourceForge account
  - Create a [[https://sourceforge.net/user/registration?return_to=https://sourceforge.net/|SourceForge]] account
  - Send username to project administrator(such as David Delene) to get editor permission on SourceForge account
====  Atmospheric Science Wiki Account ====
  * Wikis are a great way to quickly document software-related information. 
  * User account must be created by adminstrator(for eg David Delene)

===== Linux Workstation =====
 
 Linux workstations are used to process data because of multi-user features that are a fundamental part of the Linux operating system.
There are 2 ways to access the Linux workstation:   
    * **Shell Access(Putty):** 
    *   * **SSH(Secure Shell)** is a way to connect to another computer remotely through a secure network
    *   * **Putty** is SSH client & provide access to Linux Shell
    *   * ____Most__ __tasks____ can be done via Putty 

    * Fully Graphical interface: Physically be at a Linux Workstation or get remote access via **Virtual Network Computing(VNC)** client. See [[http://wiki.atmos.und.edu/doku.php?id=atmos:citation:soft:vnc|VNC]]

===== ADPAA SetUp and Install ADPAA for Developers of ADPAA =====
For the setup of ADPAA and its installation, read pages __4 and 5__ from [[http://www.openscienceassociates.com/delene/DataProcessingGuide.pdf|Data Processing Guide]] is recommended.
