Update spread-sheets of 3D structure
Opened this issue · 8 comments
Include changes/modifications discussed at the last scattering meeting (17/May/2018). Please all: revise the spreadsheet and comment!
Spread-sheet is updated according to our discussion yesterday (3D structure and meta-data). @rhoneyager @DaveOri @eec3 please revise, thanks!
@rhoneyager : I just saw, that the spread-sheet one can find on the homepage is not automatically sync-ed with google...
@stefankneifel On Google drive, I can see three copies of structure_scattering_datasets.xlsx.xlsx, last modified Nov. 13, Aug. 16 and Aug. 2. Did you make another copy somewhere?
Okay, I switched the site to use your version.
Two things:
-
For particle_scattering_element_coordinates, did the meeting discuss changing the dimensions from "particle_scattering_element_number, 3, constituent_id" to "particle_scattering_element_number, 3"?
-
particle_constituent_number/constituent_id/particle_constituent_id should also be a local dimension, with a consistent name.
For 1: We already have a separate variable for that: particle_scattering_element_composition. The coordinates variable basically reads as "the nth scattering element is centered at (X,Y,Z)", while the composition variable says "the nth scattering element is (70% ice, 30% water)".
At least, that is how I am interpreting the variables based on the description and comments columns.
