:question: SIR Station preparation
---
- ==CP:== For SCC 5.2, data submission OK, processing OK except for ELDA retrievals of elastic products
error message is NO Valid Data point with ELDA vers. 3.4.4. 
Loojing at the forum, no valid data point correspond to too noisy profiles
while with ELDA version 3.3.19b retirevals were OK and nothing else changed in SIR Lidar.
- ==CP:== For CARS-NRT, should we apply the molecular_calc parameter as 0 for automatic
systematically or can we apply the radiosounding choice and in this case, is it still choice 2
and if e choose option 0 shlould we have to provide temperature and pressure at station level
which can be an issue for automatic submission.
- New filenames for all products

## Notes 
<!-- Other important details discussed during the meeting can be entered here. -->
- Introduction from DN
    - request contribution from PIs to propose subject for discussion
    - present the agenda
    - change of timing: 1st Giuseppe, 2nd JP Ispra, and Lucia

- GDA, announcment for SCC 5.2
    - new filenames..... For all processing schemes? ... yes. all.
    - Old products will be overwritten so we have to save the previous products from 5.1. version
    - preent experimental/operational SCC system. One can be approved by CARS and not editable.
    but CP question is what do you consider editable and not editable.
    ==R:== yes all related config are locked: channels, products etc related to system configuration
    Then there could still be used in other config, experimental one but locked. THe way to modify would be to duplicate
    channel for exemple and change what you wish to change.
    - molecular_calc: 0 checks if there'is model cloudnet otherwise standard
    option 1 is correlatives means radiosounding files.
    
- Ioannis, new cloud screening
    - still works only for 1064nm but they are working to includ all wavelength for the next release.
    - No user input
    - No changes in ELDA code btween the two version: just ELPP, filenames, and cloud screen. SO why do I have No valid data points for calibration.
    ==R:== Could be the problem with radiosounding profile. because I use the one that is not the closest in time because I submitted in NRT.
    So next step would be to reprocess a good previous file and compare the output files. And reprocess the NRT with code 0.
    
- Claudio SCC interface
    - SCC locked configuration
    - Processing queue can handle priority
    - New SCC access by Ioannis see how to dooanload it

- Lucia Mona. NEW QC for Earlinet DB.
    - !!! for CARS, we will have to have approved configuration and validate L2 products
    - we will have a calendar
    - L0 raw, L1 not fully QC control data and L2 is fully QCed data
    - Covid-19 dataset publications
