ARSF Data Analysis Node

Welcome to the ​NERC's Airborne Research and Survey Facility (ARSF) Data Analysis Node information wiki. This wiki acts both as an information data source for users of ARSF data and is an active wiki for the data processing. You can find information about the various sensors flown by the ARSF, the processing algorithms applied to ARSF data and help on using the ARSF processing software. Please note, as this is an active wiki used by the data processing team, some of the information here will be in technical note form.

The ARSF Data Analysis Node is based at ​Plymouth Marine Laboratory. You can contact us via:
