ADPAA Data File
- Follows Appendix B of Delene, D. J., Airborne Data Processing and Analysis Software Package, Earth Science Informatics, 4(1), 29-44, 2011, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12145-010-0061-4, DOI: 10.1007/s12145-010-0061-4.
Note that when the priminary data acquistion sytem, such as a M300, is restarted during a flight the flight id is denoted as YYYYMMDD_?, where ? starts at 1 for flight on that day. Within the YYYYMMDD_? directory, there are directories with names of YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS that denote the start times of each files. A Combined directory is include within the YYYYMMDD_? that combines all data from all files acquired during the flight. The 'combine_files' script us used to combine files obtained different acquisition period into files within the Cobmined directory.
