Directory layout:

• full: The standard processing
• reduce: The processing using the data reduction scheme
• reducedC: The processing in C language using the MATLAB data reduction scheme from reduce
• other: Functions called by both methods
• comp: Functions used with compressed files
• sat: Documentation and scripts for parsing and processing .sat files

Dependencies (beyond standard Matlab tools):

Seawater toolbox functions (sw_... .m), copies of which are available at github.com/OceanMixingGroup/chipod_gust/tree/master/software/mix_files. Some versions of the seawater toolbox do not work with vectors and will not work here.

Notes:

Processing FCS data is much like processing Chameleon data; both are vertical microstructure profilers. However, the different sensors and different deployment methods of the two instruments mean that it is worth having a separate and stand-alone processing suite for FCS. Indeed, some functions (e.g., Kraichnan and Nasmyth spectra) already exist in MixingSoftware. I've rewritten them (and included a _fcs in the filename) to keep the directory more self contained.
