Droplet Measurement Technologies (DMT) Cloud Imaging Probe (CIP) -- Aircraft Processing
process_raw (Level 1)
Purpose
Extracts CIP housekeeping and image data and stores the data in separate files. Note that output file names will change based on probe data format (greyscale or legacy non-grayscale) and probe size resolution (15 or 25 micrometers).
Required Input Files
*.sea
Output Files
*.house.cip.raw - stores housekeeping data for 25 micrometer resolution CIP
*.house.cip15.raw - stores housekeeping data for 15 micrometer resolution CIP
*.cipGS15 - stores image data for greyscale-format 15 micrometer resolution CIP
*.cip15 - stores image data for 15 micrometer resolution CIP
*.cip - stores image data for 25 micrometer resolution CIP
Imagefile_1cip_YYYYMMDDhhmmss - stores image data from CIP in the DMT format.
process_soda2
Purpose
Compile and run all SODA2 linkage and base code to process raw image data from optical array probes.
Required Input Files
None directly, but either a *.sea or a DMT-formatted raw image file (i.e. Imagefile_1*) must be present in the PostProcessing subdirectory.
Output Files
- MMDDYYYY_hhmmss_<probe>.dat
- MMDDYYYY_hhmmss_<probe>.pbp
- YY_MM_DD_hh_mm_ss.<probe>_<orientation>.area_ratio.1Hz
- YY_MM_DD_hh_mm_ss.<probe>_<orientation>.aspect_ratio.1Hz
- YY_MM_DD_hh_mm_ss.<probe>_<orientation>.conc.1Hz
- YY_MM_DD_hh_mm_ss.<probe>_<orientation>.counts.1Hz
where <probe> refers to the optical array probe name (e.g. CIP15) and <orientation> is the orientation of the probe sampling arms (V stands for vertically aligned, H stands for horizontally aligned).
create_all_images
Purpose
To automatically create images, typically PNG files, from aircraft optical array probe data. This script must be ran from the mission date directory (typically named in the YYYMMDD_hhmmss format) with the PostProcessing subdirectory present. Calls the plotcip and imagedump modules.
Required Input Files
None directly, but a optical array probe file (i.e. *.cip15) must be present in the PostProcessing, 2DS_Data, HVPS3_Data, or HVPS3_Data_B directory(ies).
Output Files
PNG image files stored in their respective subdirectories (i.e. 15 micrometer resolution CIP image data will be stored in the CIP15_ImagesWithBars and CIP_ImagesNoBars subdirectories).
plotcip
Purpose
To extract image data from optical array probe image files. Output image files typically show four probe buffers at a time, can include images with or without timing bars between images, and can be saved in either the PNG or EPS file formats.
Required Input Files
One of the following file types:
*.cip
*.cip15
*.cipGS15
*.pip
Output Files
One of the following file types based on input file and desired output file format.
YY_MM_DD_hh_mm_ss.cip_image.???
YY_MM_DD_hh_mm_ss.cip15_image.???
YY_MM_DD_hh_mm_ss.cipGS15_image.???
YY_MM_DD_hh_mm_ss.pip_image.???
