Ingestion options

The table below lists the available ingestion options for GOME_L1_EXTRACTED products.

option name legal values description
band band-1a, band-1b, band-2a, band-2b, band-3, band-4, blind-1a, straylight-1a, straylight-1b, straylight-2a only include data from the specified band (‘band-1a’, ‘band-1b’, ‘band-2a’, ‘band-2b’, ‘band-3’, ‘band-4’, ‘blind-1a’, ‘straylight-1a’, ‘straylight-1b’, ‘straylight-2a’); by default data from all bands is retrieved
data sun_reference retrieve the measured radiances or the sun spectra; by default the measured radiances are retrieved

This definition is only applicable when: data unset
