COCCON Members

Dear COCCON-members,

for future data evaluations on the Central Facility and for generating GEOMS compliant HDF output files (as used by ESA and NASA for validation of spaceborne sensors), we would kindly ask you to provide us the desired name, the affiliation, the address and the email of the Principal Investigator (PI), of the Data Originator (DO), and of the Data Submitter (DS) of your EM27SUN site (example for measurements taken in Karlsruhe given below, please also note the pdf document geoms-1.0 and the EVDC ESA data protocoll).

Your choice can be context-sensitive, e.g. you can provide us several choices per spectrometer and/or per campaign timeframe, if required.

Many thanks for your contribution !

Sincerely yours,
the COCCON Team

Account on the Central Facility

Preparations (if not already done)
1. install any ssh-client on the device you like to use as remote
(e.g. for Windows: bitvise SSH client from www.bitvise.com)
2. create your "personal" SSH v2 key pair
(we recommend to use ed25519 or rsa encryption with >=4096 bits keylength)
3. keep the private part of the key pair secret !!!
4. send us the public part of the key pair by email
5. choose a user name (e.g. "kit" for KIT, Karlsruhe)

Please feel free to contact us if you encounter any problems.
For help with all the preparations please contact your IT staff first
(they know best which software to use and how to install it on your computer).

In order to log in for data exchange, we recommend the software Bitvise for Windows users.
But in principle any SSH software can be used for this purpose.
