===== Calibration Functions =====

This page provides a brief overview of the functions avaliable in Eubrewnet to determine Brewer configuration parameters.

----
==== Langley ====
  * Function: ''langley''
  * Description: Determine the ETC and the ETC filter corrections applying the Langley-plot method to each half day.
  * Access function example: https://rbcce.aemet.es/eubrewnet/data/cal/langley?brewerid=185&date=2022-04-01&enddate=2022-04-10&format=text
  * Input: a complete list of input arguments is provided next, but we strongly recommed to use the web interface at https://rbcce.aemet.es/eubrewnet/caldata/langley to access this function
      - ''brewerid'': see [[codes:dbaccess#common_inputs|Brewerid in common inputs]]
      - ''date'': see [[codes:dbaccess#common_inputs|Date in common inputs]]
      - ''enddate'': see [[codes:dbaccess#common_inputs|Enddate in common inputs]]
      - ''format'': see [[codes:dbaccess#format|Format]]
      - ''data'': input data used, available options are ''o3l15'' (default if the option is not passed in the url), ''o3l15v2'', ''o3l1'', ''sco3'' for the O3L1.5, O3L1.5V2, O3L1 and sun scan measurements, respectively. For the ''sco3'' option, the ''step'' option with the value of the micrometer step must be also passed in the url. Individual observations (not summaries) are used in all cases unless ''use_summaries'' is selected (see below). Note you can override the default configuration used to process the data in Eubrewnet using the ''urlconfig'' method (eg, to pass new ETC filter correction methods add ''&urlconfig&fc=1,2,3,4,5'' to the url)
      - ''calc'': calculation to perform, available options are ''etc'' (Langley-plot with all the data, default option), ''filters'' (the Langley-plot fit is done using dummy variables for filters 3, 4, 5, and thus allows to determine the ETC filter correction of those filters with respect to the ETC obtained for the set measurements with filters 0, 1, and 2), and ''filters_etc'' (this option performs two fits: first, a ''filters'' run to determine the ETC filter corrections, and then an ''etc'' calculation using these ETC filter corrections). For ''etc'' runs, two different fits are performed: ''ms9'' vs ''airmass'' (brewer method) and ''ms9/airmass'' vs ''1/airmass'' (dobson method)
      - ''minairmass'': airmass minimum in ''etc'' calculations (defaults to 1.70 if the option is not passed in the url)
      - ''maxairmass'': airmass maximum in ''etc'' calculations (defaults to 3.75 if the option is not passed in the url)
      - ''minobs'': minimum number of observations (either individual observations or summaries) in the half-day to perform the Langley in ''etc'' calculations (default value: 25). Note by default all the ''data'' functions are configured to return individual observations, but see ''use_summaries'' below
      - ''filters_minairmass'': airmass minimum in ''filters'' calculations (defaults to 1 if the option is not passed in the url)
      - ''filters_maxairmass'': airmass maximum in ''filters'' calculations (defaults to 5 if the option is not passed in the url)
      - ''filters_minobs'': minimum number of observations in the half-day to perform the Langley in ''filters'' calculations (default value: 15)
      - ''maxstdo3'': don't perform the langley if the maximum of the standard deviation of the half-day ozone is above this value (default: 2.5)
      - ''minrsquared'': don't accept the langley results if the r<sup>2</sup> of the fits are below this value (default: 0.999)
      - ''residuals_filtering'': do each fit twice, using the residuals of the first to remove observations whose residual is larger than 1.5*std(residuals)
      - ''use_summaries'': if passed as an option, use summaries instead of individual observations for o3l15 and o3l15v2 data. Note the default values for ''minobs'' and ''filter_minobs'' (25 and 15, respectively) are provided as a guide for calculations with individual observations, the user must set suitable values (eg, 5 for ''minobs'') if ''use_summaries'' is passed.
      - ''debug'': include debug output. As of 2023-06-29, this returns four additional vectorial fields, 'airmass', 'ms9', 'filt', and 'solartime', with the raw data used in the half-day langley fit.
  * Output:
      - ''date'': date and time of each half-day langley, morning langleys correspond to 00 time, and afternoon ones, to 12
      - ''etc'': calculated ETC          
      - ''o3xabs'': calculated ozone multiplied by the ozone absorption coefficient
      - ''rsquared'': r<sup>2</sup> of the langley fit
      - ''nobs'': number of observations used in the fit
      - ''stdo3'': standard deviation of the half-day ozone
      - ''meano3'': mean ozone of the half-day
      - ''filter_corr_3'',''filter_corr_4'',''filter_corr_5'': ETC filter corrections, either calculated in a ''filters'' run or supplied passing ''&urlconfig&fc=1,2,3,4,5'' in the url
      - ''info'': a brief description of the calculation performed

      - ''lamp_co'': comment from the B file stating which lamp was switched on. This comment corresponds to the most recent in a search on all the comments containing the keywords ''b1'' or ''b2'' in the B file in the 20 minutes before the first measurement in the CI/CJ

----

==== CZ lamp tests ====
  * Function: ''CZ'' 
  * Description: Return the data from the CZ lamp tests. Because in this test the wavelengths are defined by the Brewer operator, Eubrewnet's output is different than in the case of the CI/CJ tests. In particular,  the ''l'' in fields such as ''mmmm_l'' is now just a numerical index from 0 to 149, and the wavelengths are shown in the new ''wavelengths_l'' fields

  * Input: same as for the CI and CJ functions, see above
  * Output: the output is quite similar to that of the CI and CJ functions, the main difference being that the ''_l'' suffix is now a numerical index instead of a wavelength. There are also some new fields:
      - ''wavelength_l'': wavelength in nm corresponding to the l-th measurement
      - ''fwpos1'' and ''fwpos2'': filter wheel positions
      - ''startwv'' and ''finalwv'': initial and final wavelengths

----

      - ''wavelength'': wavelength measured
      - ''fwpos1'' and ''fwpos2'': filter wheel positions
      - ''rawcountssml'': raw counts for the slit mask ''l'' position, where ''l=0,1,...,7''
