# Introduction

The online processing is optional. Customers can opt out of having their data uploaded to Skaha's server for processing.&#x20;

The following steps are performed as part of the online processing:

* Filtering
* Gain and drift corrections
* Gridding onto a regular grid of latitude and longitude
* Separation of polarized and unpolarized components
* Conversion of radiometer output into volumetric water content using a land-surface model
* Provision of raw data, processed data, and graphs in a Google Drive folder accessible to the customer only

Even though users may want to perform their own data processing, letting the raw data run through Skaha's processing chain will give quick feedback on the data quality:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://skaha-labs.gitbook.io/documentation/online-processing/page-4.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
