The COCCON Central Processing and Data Handling Facility (CPDHF) is an easily accessible web-based framework for storing calibrated spectra, for performing the quantitative trace gas analysis and for data dissemination to the user community.

Spectra generated using PREPROCESS can be uploaded by the spectrometer operators and the trace gas analysis will be performed at the CPDHF using PROFFAST. The facility can also be used to make the data available to the public if desired. Spectra stored at the central facility will be reanalyzed when a new version of PROFFAST becomes available (e.g. improved line lists). 

Preparations (if not already done): 

1. Install any ssh-client on the device you like to use as remote (e.g. for Windows: Bitvise SSH client from Bitvise Website)
2. Create your "personal" SSH v2 key pair (we recommend to use ed25519 or rsa encryption with ≥ 4096 bits keylength)
3. Keep the private part of the key pair secret !!!
4. Send us the public part of the key pair by email
5. Choose a user name (e.g. "kit" for KIT, Karlsruhe)

Please feel free to contact us if you encounter any problems. For help with all the preparations please contact your IT staff first (they know best which software to use and how to install it on your computer).

In order to log in for data exchange, we recommend the software Bitvise for Windows users. But in principle any SSH software can be used for this purpose.
