Task SA2.8 EISCAT_3D

Andrei Tsaregorodtsev of CNRS will do the debugging of the Dirac portal. This means that there will not be much development for the rest of the project. The RT system is used to raise these debug requests and that works well. CSC is investigating how to add a more heavy EISCAT processing using a c-library doing lagprofiling of the L1 data into L2. This can possibly be done in a docker, but also a regular batch routine with provided parameters. Umea and EISCAT have met to finalise the EISCAT_3D data model, now that the first radar parts are becoming ready. A couple of dedicated f2f meetings are planned in May together with EISCAT_3D engineers to work out a database friendly data structure.

Task SA2.9 EPOS

Task SA2.10 Disaster Mitigation
