Welcome to the NERC-ARF Data Analysis Node help desk. We are here to help you with any queries you have regarding the processing of your NERC-ARF data. Please spend a few moments to check through these pages to find the answer to your query. If you cannot find the answers you are looking for then please [wiki:AboutUs#ContactUs contact us].

== Information about data processing prior to delivery ==

For information on what happens to the data prior to delivery please check this page:

 * [wiki:ProcessingAtDAN#ProcessingandQualityControl  Data processing procedures]

For information on '''sensors''' and their specifications please see the [wiki:SensorInformation sensors] page.

== Information about data processing after delivery ==

For information on using NERC-ARF-DAN software or how to get the best from your data please check these pages. For information on using NERC-ARF software please also see the tutorials section:

* '''Hyperspectral processing'''
  * [wiki:Processing/aplquickstart Getting started guide] to using APL for Eagle/Hawk or Fenix processing.
  * [wiki:Processing/AplUserGuide APL processing level 1 to level 3 guide]

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

We host a page of [wiki:FAQ Frequently Asked Questions] which we try to keep up to date. If you haven't been able to find a solution to your problem so far then this is a good place to check next.

== Reports ==

Reports written by NERC-ARF-DAN on various instrumentation and processing issues can be found [wiki:Reports here].

== Workshop ==

We hold a workshop for users of NERC-ARF data in March at PML. For more information [wiki:AboutUs#ContactUs contact us].
