 # AUVAbyssWorkflow
 
-Jupyter Notebooks complementing IEEE OES AUV 2018.
\ No newline at end of file
+The AUV Abyss post-processing workflow is published as Jupyter Notebooks
+complementing the IEEE OES AUV 2018 conference contribution
+"AUV Abyss workflow: autonomous deep sea exploration for ocean research"
+(Klischies et al., 2018). The publication explains the application and use
+of these Notebooks in detail.
+The purpose of the Juypter Notebooks is to share, adapt, execute and document post-
+processing of AUV Abyss MBES data.
+
+SOFTWARE PRE-REQUISITES:
+To use the Jupyter Notebooks, the following open source software distributions
+has to be installed: MB-System (Caress, 1999), Python (van Rossum, 1995), and Jupyter
+(Kluyver et al., 2017).
+Maintaining a GIS (Geographic Information System) project parallel to the post-processing
+workflow is recommended to keep an overview, check intermediate results and produced
+digital elevation models. This is especially applicable to multi-survey mapping
+campaigns, where post-processing has to manage and merge several dives.
+
+MB-System:
+https://www.mbari.org/products/research-software/mb-system/
+Packaged MB-System distributions contain GMT and other prerequisites, and are
+available for MacOS (as a Homebrew package) and Linux operating systems (included
+in Poseidon Linux and maintained in UbuntuGIS).
+
+Python & Jupyter Notebook:
+https://www.anaconda.com
+Python is available in several packages and distributions, of which the Anaconda
+Distribution also includes Jupyter Notebook.
+
+GIS:
+www.qgis.com
+QGis is an open source GIS software, but paid distributions (e.g. ArcGIS from Esri,
+Global Mapper from Blue Marble Graphics) are also applicable.
