This release is the culmination of the Phase 2.5 development effort. Everything present in Phases I and II is still present and operational. The focus in this release has been on N functional areas: download data delivery formats and incorporation of workflow processing in Charlottesville.
...
The archive also supports SSO level 2, so you may authenticate with either your ALMA or NRAO account. If the accounts are linked at ALMA, you will see the same stuff either way.<.
Data Delivery Formats
For Phase 2.5, downloaded data formats include those provided by the current NRAO Archive. This includes raw data formats for the ELVA, ALMA, VLBA, GBT, and legacy VLA. In addition, the ability to download the EVLA or ALMA data as a CASA measurement set (MS) is provided. In the creation of the MS, options are provided to:
- apply flags generated during observing
- choose online averaging (Spectral, Time Averaging)
- Select scans for MS
- Deliver the data as a tar file
Workflow Processing in Charlottesville
Reprocessing
Reprocessing requests are now supported for raw data. ALMA requests and VLA requests for data taken after 2013 are functional (Jansky VLA sets from before 2013 had issues with intents and can't be reprocessed without manual intervention.
...
The NRAO Archive offers primitive re-processing capabilities, meaning it can re-run raw data files through the ALMA or NRAO calibration pipeline and allow downloading the results. These features are very much a work in progress, one area that needs improvement is error reporting, the Archive currently allows users to reprocess data sets that are known to be bad, and there is no feedback to the user except that the request is complete and produced no files to download.
