I think I did a good job in\nthe end despite being very apprehensive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been enjoying working with\/alongside the other researchers in my office &#8211; three other grad students and an undergrad student. On Friday I got my computer set up for Igor and went through the lengthy tutorial and I was ready to get down to some data analysis on Monday but I realized almost immediately that I needed to learn a lot more about coding in order to do that. My data was previously collected from another project and so far I have 6 months worth of data in 6 different categories taken every second \u2013 so millions of data points. And I need more. I also just started learning how to run back trajectories using Hysplit; it&#8217;ll be nice to have something else to play with besides Igor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now I\u2019m attempting to write a procedure (through many basic tutorials plus trial and error) that will take the average of my data in minute chunks. It\u2019s very complicated for someone with almost no coding experience but I\u2019ve made a lot of progress so far. I wrote my first little code today! It\u2019s just a basic loop but I\u2019m very proud of it! I still have some troubleshooting to do to make it work properly with my data set but I think it&#8217;s a good start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"549\" src=\"https:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/reccs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/06\/Baby-code-1-1024x549.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/reccs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/06\/Baby-code-1-1024x549.png 1024w, https:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/reccs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/06\/Baby-code-1-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/reccs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/06\/Baby-code-1-768x412.png 768w, https:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/reccs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/06\/Baby-code-1.png 1690w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>It&#8217;s so cute.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that I\u2019ve been able to meet my mentor I understand more about the scope of my project and about aerosols in general.
