LOFAR Pre-Processing Pipeline
===============================
The Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) Pre-Processing Pipeline is a workflow that's meant to be run on raw LOFAR data post-correlation. The input is assumed to have been produced with COBALT (Correlator and Beamformer Application for the LOFAR Telescope) and it's meant to be run on the Central Processing cluster (CEP). The pipeline prepares raw LOFAR data for further processing, e.g., with calibration and imaging pipelines, such as `LINC <https://linc.readthedocs.io/>`_ and `Rapthor <https://rapthor.readthedocs.io/>`_. It's a re-implementation of the old Pre-Processing Pipeline in the `Common Workflow Language (CWL) <https://www.commonwl.org/>`_.

It's a re-implementation of the old Pre-Processing Pipeline, written in the `Common Workflow Language (CWL) <https://www.commonwl.org/>`_; the old pipeline was implemented in the `Generic Pipeline Framework <https://support.astron.nl/softwaregenericpipeline/>`_.
It performs the following operations:
* initial flagging of bad data
* removal of bright off-axis sources (demixing)
