Shipboard ADCP processing workshop
      May 14,15,16 (2013) 
             WHOI


       session                        hours            audience
      
---- start overview/seminar/brownbag section ------
(day 1: morning)

(1) general overview of adcps,       1.5    general(*): between a department seminar
      codas processing, uhdas                 and a brownbag lunch. in an
                                              auditorium or seminar room, with
                                               an overhead projector

==> break for coffee <==
==> group gets smaller <==

(2) what "postprocessing" a codas    1.5    more technical(*); still does not require
      dataset involves, what to               computers or network.  maybe good
      look for that indicates a               for users of adcp data, and people
      potential problem and what is           who supervise people who process data
      required to address it


==> break for lunch <==
==> group gets smaller <==

(*) anyone who has actually done any codas processing in the past is exempt from
    the requirement that they attend these two.  Or they have to NOT ask any questions
    I already answered in (1) and (2) and have to still be able to move forward.
    They should clear this with me first

------ start "lab/workshop" section ----
(day 1: afternoon) -- requires computers, network, power, and (yes) projector

       session                        hours            audience

(3) get virtual machine set up, get    1.5    people who want to do anything that
     test datasets in place                    follows

(4) We all run through post-processing  1.5-2  fundamental introduction to adcp
    of a recent UHDAS dataset together         data and terminology and tools
    Introduction to tools used on codas
    databases (how to access/view data)

================================= (day 2) ===========================

(5) introduction to UHDAS single-ping   8      back up; take more details.
    processing (i.e. how to get a              audience: this is the meat;
    dataset ready for 'postprocessing'            anyone who wants to process
                                                  UHDAS data should be here
                                                  for this.
    extra time allocated for additional
    questions, perhaps special datasets,
    more about tools to look at singleping
    data and serial data

================================= (day 3) =================================

(6) processing VmDAS data;              4+     anyone who thinks they will
    assess VmDAS data; convert to                   have to process a VmDAS
    UHDAS directory structure, apply                a VmDAS dataset
    knowledge from previous steps
