Naming scheme for aircraft measurements#

The naming scheme <aircraft>-<year><month><day><letter> (i.e. HALO-20240810a) shall serve as a clean and future-proof way to identify flights. The <letter> in the end of the scheme will distinguish between cases, when several flights will take place in one day.

For quicklook data the terminus QL_<aircraft>-<year><month><day><letter>_<instrument>_<Version: Vxx> is recommended.
