Computer session on measurement and analysis of waves and turbulence
6th COSPAR Capacity Building Workshop 
Sinaia, Romania, June 4-16, 2007
The computer session, organized on June 6 between 16:30 and 18:30, follows the
lecture
on measurement and analysis of waves and turbulence given on the same day at 11:30.
The data sets for this computer session correspond to published observations of three
different wave phenomena:
- Electron and proton whistlers

The measurements have been done by the STAFF-SA and WBD instruments onboard the four Cluster
spacecraft (file names containing c1, c2, c3 or c4) and by the F4 instrument onboard
the Freja spacecraft (file names containing f4).
The data files can either contain measured waveforms or spectral matrices.
Both are stored in ASCII text files (*.asc). Students can use procedures
read_wf.pro and
read_sm.pro to read the waveform and the spectral matrix
data, respectively.
A set of commented IDL procedures is provided. With an exception of the
assignment #5, only a very basic knowledge of the IDL is supposed.
