the script ./parameter_study.sh outputs a list of executable lines that run through many different parameters. This can be made parallel using xargs in the following way
./parameter_study.sh | xargs -I CMD --max-procs=4 bash -c CMD
By running something like
./extract_data.sh -i 7 -t goes goes/2016/*.csv > noise_data
and then passing the noise data file to the tracer, the noise data will be used to generate the piece.
