Section: Data time series prior to FFT segmentation. e.g,: For a profiler a section would be a profile.

Segment: Block of NFFT sample (i.e. 4096 sample) on which one will compute the spectrum.

Main page appearance

• I tried to give our main page (where new users land = very important, first impressions matter etc) a make-over. Let me know what you think. I would recommend moving the links at the bottom of the page to somewhere else, and people could revise and improve what I've written. KikiSchulz (talk) 20:08, 9 November 2021 (CET)

• I like the pictures instead of the text. We just need to change the pictures since the ADV placeholder is showing an ADCP... the ADCP is showing an AUV. CynthiaBluteau (talk) 20:13, 9 November 2021 (CET)

• haha, yes, I panicked when I first destroyed all the layout and just randomly chose from the Gallery page -.- KikiSchulz (talk) 20:15, 9 November 2021 (CET)

• Thanks KikiSchulz! It looks great. By the way, the images look accurate to me. ADV is correct and the ADCP is correct. Don't see the problem. Ilker (talk) 21:04, 9 November 2021 (CET)

Clicking on the picture opens the picture (as it should); but perhaps it is better to link the pictures to corresponding subgroup pages instead (like the text)? Ilker (talk) 21:07, 9 November 2021 (CET)

• I already corrected the pictures, Cynthia was right. I wanted to let the pictures point to the subgroup pages, that was when I messed everything up :) but I'll keep on trying! Must be possible... KikiSchulz (talk) 21:13, 9 November 2021 (CET)

• Success!! It looks a bit less pretty, but the images are now links. We should get another one for the ADVs that is also wider than high for optics reason, but otherwise I'm satisfied. Also, I moved the links at the end to the contribute page (that we will need to edit later when we know how people really can contribute). KikiSchulz (talk) 22:09, 9 November 2021 (CET)

• The pictures look ok now. I will look for another ADV photo, but I don't think the width is a big issue. I have a number of them, but they all have scalar sensors or other things in the way. Thanks for making this page very pretty. CynthiaBluteau (talk) 01:23, 11 November 2021 (CET)

How to use threaded comments

• I've moved the "help" for discussion pages and how to create threads etc onto the discussion page of Contribute page. CynthiaBluteau (talk) 01:25, 11 November 2021 (CET)
