Generalized tools and procedures to work with data from the TMPSF instruments

Working with the Raw Data

Since the data is in NetCDF format, you need to install the NetCDF package to be able to work with them. The NetCDF package can be easily installed for most package managers; for example on OS X, this can be accomplished in the terminal by running:

brew install netcdf

If the prompt says you don't have homebrew installed, you can then follow its instruction to install homebrew.

The Source Code

In the src/ folder are codes written in C that might help with your data processing. Their rough documentation is here.
Because the project is at a very early stage, codes are not guaranteed to work unless marked so on the documentation above

Sample Raw Data

In the sample_raw_data folder, this repo provides some sample data to experiment with. The .nc file contains one month's worth of data collected by the TMPSF thermistor array installed at the ASHES Vent field during September, along with some header informations. (p.s. the NetCDF package provides command-line tools to work with the .nc files as well; more info here.)

Extracted Sample Data

The extracted_sample_data/ folder contains binary data files extracted with the tools in src/.
