DOCUMENTATION FOR RUNNING THERMISTOR CALIBRATION PROCEDURES

 1) Get the data off the diskettes and into the correct directory
    on tsunami:   tsunami:/oasis/doc/cal??

 2) Go through the print outs sent by NPS.
      - Highlight all the start times
      - Convert (PST?) time on print outs to GMT
      - Highlight all the means

 3) Run the perl scripts to time average (compact) and translate date
      - For M51 see>  tsunami:/oasis/doc/cal97/avg-m51.pl
      - For sst see>  tsunami:/oasis/doc/cal97/avg-sst.pl
    (I recommend you print out the .FFFF (.AVG for sst) file created)

 4) Visually go through the time averaged files and select the line that
    best represents the data from each group around each time that the
    mean temperature was taken.  (Sometimes the clocks can be different
    so don't need to be too exact on time, just pick the data that seems
    to be the level of temperatures before they turned the heat up again).

 5) Create a user input file for each set of data.  Each line should have the
    date you select from the .FFFF/.AVG file and the mean temperature from
    the printout separated by a space.
       example:
         163/19:30 6.00090
         164/01:15 8.00049
         164/06:00 10.00040
         164/11:30 11.99967
         164/17:30 13.99976
         164/23:15 15.99953
         165/05:00 17.99953
         165/11:00 19.99958
         165/17:00 21.99974

 6) Run the perl scripts to Create the file expected by the calsh6 program
      - For M51 see>  tsunami:/oasis/doc/cal97/mkcable51.pl
      - For sst see>  tsunami:/oasis/doc/cal97/mksst.pl

 7) Visually inspect the input files (i.e.: cable51.dat, m2sst.dat, etc.) for
    the calsh6 program, make sure all is correct and complete.

 8) Run the calsh6 program on each input file.
      examples:
         /oasis/bin/calsh6 ./cable51
         /oasis/bin/calsh6 ./m2sst


 9) Print out all the files produced by the calsh6 programs and give to
    whomever requested them.
