 The GRIMM output from the spectrometer has a timestamp but no positional information.  knpa has written a script to use the timestamps to append position info from the ARSF navigation files: ~arsf/usr/opt/grimm/add_position_2_dustMon_output.py
 
+Usage:
+add_position_2_dustMon_output.py <comma_sep_grimm> <grimm_nav_file> <sol_file>
+
+The grimm_nav_file is the nav file that is automatically output by DustMonitor in-flight. The sol_file is the ARSF post-processed nav file. The latter is used first, with the grimm nav file only being used when the sol file lacks coverage (which often occurs at the start or end).

 knpa has also written a script to identify periods where the plane is ascending or descending so as to extract vertical profiles: /users/rsg/arsf/usr/opt/grimm/grimm_extract_vertical_profiles.py
 
+Usage:
+grimm_extract_vertical_profiles.py <grimm_file> [-p]
+
+Extracts vertical profiles with stats describing the min/max values. -p argument to print rather than write to a file.
