Notes on Data Processing Guide

Written below are the notes from David Delene's Data Processing Guide

1. 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
2. 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

To be a developer on ADPAA, you need a SourceForge account

1. Create a SourceForge account
2. Send username to project administrator(such as David Delene) to get editor permission on SourceForge account

• Wikis are a great way to quickly document software-related information.
• User account must be created by adminstrator(for eg David Delene)

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 VNC

For the setup of ADPAA and its installation, read pages 4 and 5 from Data Processing Guide is recommended.
