The CPR data will be received approximately 8 times per day. These data "dumps" will contain overlapping orbits, or partial-orbits, with each data "profile" (a CPR radar, vertical sample) identified with a unique time stamp. These data will be pre-processed to remove duplicate data packets and to produce a quick-look display of the raw CPR counts for each of the 125 vertical "bins" in each profile.
This "raw" (level 0A) CPR data stream will be parsed to locate the VTCW (epoch time from the spacecraft), second counter, and millisecond counter fields which will be used to match these data with the other auxiliary data products required for the production of the 1A-AUX file.
