Description

In general, further work is required for tandem/hybrid calibration that combines sky and redundant. Need to determine what parameters are required. Or more generally, any iterative calibration is harder to capture in our scheme. Potentially just using multiple UVCal objects, then having new methods to combine them via e.g. multiplication.

Research direction

Start with the UVCal objects and the existing calibration workflow; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Determine which parameters tandem, hybrid, and iterative calibration require and how multiple UVCal objects should be combined. Done means the supported iterative or sequential calibration approach is defined and implemented with coverage for the relevant cases.
