Flux measurements at the CNRS big solar furnace in Odeillo with heliostat scan (L2 data)

<strong>Flux measurements at the big solar furnace in Odeillo.</strong> Data levels description: Level 0 data: raw datasets from the different acquisition systems (cameras, radiometers, motion controllers…). Level 1 data: area of interest extracted from flux camera images and converted as HDF file (grayscale). <strong>=&gt; Level 2 data: All data synchronised, converted and supersampled at millisecond resolution in HDF files: DNI, radiometer, heliostat aiming location from ARGOS camera, image maps at focal plane on the receiver in suns normalised for DNI 1000 W/m2.</strong> Level 3 data: data interpolated and smoothed for regular heliostat aiming positions. Level 4 data: idem, but spatially subsampled at various resolutions. One HDF file per heliostat. Heliostats chosen randomly among the 26 available. HDF file are compressed in zstandard. In python 3, requires the packages: pandas, hdf5plugin, tables, h5py, blosc, zstd. For each heliostat : the aiming position of the heliostats was moved in S patterns.
