Wind Calibration and Processing Programs

  All the calibration and processing software module's described below are executed from the shell prompt.  Type the name of the processing module to get a list of input parameters for that program.  Each software module is started with a "csh" script that calls an IDL subroutine.

alpha_cal
  
  Calibration routine to determine the alpha angle calibration coefficients.
   
beta_cal

  Calibration routine to determine the beta angle calibration coefficients.

hoffset_cal

  Calibration routine to determine the offset between the aircraft heading angle and track angle.

winds_cal

  Calibration routine to determine the pitot nose and pitot wing calibration coefficients.  Uses reverse tracks flight data.

winds_file

  Data Level 3 processing module used to create the "*.wind.txt" and  "*.SBET.winds.txt" data file.
