Task SA2.8 EISCAT_3D

Victor Mendez left UAB, and Andrei Tsaregorodtsev of CPPM 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.
