How to read interpret the files ? #10

Closed mr-d3falt closed 1 month ago

mr-d3falt commented 1 month ago

Hello, I have downloaded tar.ab and tar.aa files, but I'm not sure how to read them and view the data. I extracted the files with cat *.tar.aa | tar -xvf - -i and unzipped the extracted trace .json files. However, I don't understand the structure. Does each trace_full_~*.json file correspond to one flight? Would it be possible to create a .csv file with longitude, latitude, and altitude columns? Thank you.
