ISTP/IACG CDAW Data Summary
ISTP/IACG CDAW Data Summary/service/trace-arch00/trace05/istp/
Some of the data files can be accessed via the web, through the
"Target Event Data"
directory.
Software tips are included in various README files (which are listed next
to their instruments). Also, there are
software tips on the web.
2.
Please edit the bibliography! We want to ensure that
all of the references and prior efforts are noted and available. There is
a general bibliography in data/biblio and there are event-specific bibliographies
in each event directory (e.g. data/98apr23/biblio).
3.
Please edit the event timelines in each directory (in a thorough manner).
These are for future reference as well as reference by other groups. It
takes a few seconds, and will be of enormous help later.
4.
Make sure your group's web page is up to date
(in public_html/). If you make an interesting image, copy it over to
the web directory for later use.
Lists of instrument data contributed to the CDAW follow. The available data
for each event has been sorted into subdirectories, with names like
"98apr23" and "97nov27." In the following instructions, they will be
referred to by a generic name of "yymmmdd" (for 2-digit year, 3-letters of
month, 2-digit day).
please refer to the
list of Data
