Notes

  • “Workflow” – software term, using software in multiple steps to accomplish a task
    • In ADPAA, automated way of processing data a certain way, usually for processing data from a specific field project (i.e. process_all_capeex19) or for figures and data analysis for a paper.
    • Enables the exact recreation of plots/results.
    • Self-documents calibration coefficients, equations, trains of thought when processing/analyzing data, etc.
  • We use old NASA ICARTT text file format, NASA now uses ICARTT 2013 format.
  • Reminder to keep updating all wikis!
    • Department wiki found here
    • ADPAA wiki found here

Updates from the Undergrads

Mike Kuchera (not present)

  • 3D PAWS

Maddie Cruff

  • Data processing for surface instrumentation
  • Working with Campbell Scientific Data Logger

David Singewald

  • Data processing for surface instrumentation

Updates from the Grads

Greg Sova

  • Rosemount icing detector
    • Only grabbing frequency from it right now, but also gives much more data.
    • Working with Collins Aerospace to figure out what other data is, etc.
  • Also working on derived supercooled water based on change in Rosemount frequency.
  • Working with IMPACTS processing.

Christian Nairy

  • Classifying PHIPS images with confidence levels from CapeEx19 project and found ~7,000 chain aggregates from one flight (8/03).
  • Working with LROSE/Review to create animated gifs of flight track and KMLB NWS composite reflectivity.
  • Results are posted here

Kendra Sand

  • Data processing for P-3/IMPACTS (process_all, adpaa.py, Nevzorov processing, N426NA constants)
  • Currently continuing debugging/coding, getting ready for IMPACTS year 2.
  • WISPER data is available on /nas drive.

Sankha Maitra (not present)

  • Working with Dave on hail projects, not doing much with ADPAA.

Shawn Wagner

  • Comparing OID-observed and 2D-S/HVPS3-derived backscatter coefficients.
  • Worked on merging scripts to merge CDP, 2D-S, and HVPS3 data.

Kurt Hibert

  • Updated CRDS processing from India project.
  • Working on WCM baseline processing like from Nevzorov (currently getting CIP data from PADS, need ability to use files from M300).
  • Will be working with lab instruments from experiments during week of 8/10/2020 (i.e. get sizer data into our ASCII format, match size spectrum from SMPS and AMS, etc.).
  • AIMMS30 processing (getting raw data processed correctly)

Nick Gapp

  • Finished up CAPE2015 data analysis, moving to CapeEx19 data analysis.
  • Fixed winds processing for CapeEx19.
  • Currently working with linkage processing to process two CIPs simultaneously.
  • The adpaa.py suite now works for Python 2 and Python 3.
  • SODA2 linkage code now sets center-in rejection correctly.
  • Finished code to derive reflectivity factor from 2D-S/HVPS3 for thesis.

Joe O’Brien

  • Some useful codes for others’ research: convert_nsrc2und.py, convert_wisper2und.py, convert_ICARTT2013tound.py, convert_undtoICARTT2013.py
  • Worked on PCASP correction, APR3 hf5 data conversion, etc

Andrea Neumann

  • Says hi 😊

Updates from the Faculty

Mike Poellot

  • Trece Hopp will be working on FCDP/CDP comparisons.
  • Logan Twohey will be going through archived data for melting layer data for stats and characteristics across various past field projects .

Dave Delene

  • Michael Willette will work with UAS fog dispersion and other instrumentation work.

Future Developments to ADPAA

  • Discussed forcing users to run ADPAA environment to solve python paths and versions issues.
  • Need to look further into how a standalone python package is created.
    • Useful for making APlot a standalone package like cplot/cplot2 are now
  • Continue developing APlot
  • Nick will be upgraded from developer to administrator.
  • Zoom session for ADTAE sometime this upcoming semester
    • Probably somewhere around the mid-September timeframe, Joe will set up/take lead
  • Possibly have a Zoom session once a month to keep everyone up to date on the other projects (ADTAE, CoPAS, etc.) and go through tutorials.
  • Default CIP will be CIP-25, CIP-15 will be *.cip15 and shortnames will have CIP15 in them (CIP-25 will be left alone).
    • CIP-25 bin sizes will change for CapeEx19 project.
