IASI_L1

Variables

The table below lists the variables that are present in the HARP product that results from an ingestion of IASI_L1 data.

field name type dimensions unit description
datetime double {time} [seconds since 2000-01-01] time of the measurement
orbit_index int32     absolute orbit number
latitude double {time} [degree_north] center latitude of the measurement
longitude double {time} [degree_east] center longitude of the measurement
wavenumber_radiance float {time, spectral} [W/m^2.sr.m^-1] measured radiances
wavenumber float {time, spectral} [m^-1] nominal wavelength assignment for each of the detector pixels
scan_subindex int8 {time}   relative index (0-119) of this measurement within an MDR
index int32 {time}   zero-based index of the sample within the source product

Mapping description

IASI Level 1 products contain a number of scanlines, each scanline contains 30 scans, each scan contains 4 spectra and each spectrum contains 8700 measurements

The table below details where and how each variable was retrieved from the input product.
