Mapping description

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

field name mapping description
scan_subindex description the scanline and pixel dimensions are collapsed into a temporal dimension; the index of the pixel within the scanline is computed as the index on the temporal dimension modulo the number of scanlines
datetime_start path /PRODUCT/time, /PRODUCT/delta_time[]
description time converted from milliseconds since a reference time (given as seconds since 2010-01-01) to seconds since 2010-01-01 (using 86400 seconds per day); the time associated with a scanline is repeated for each pixel in the scanline
datetime_length path /@time_coverage_resolution
description the measurement length is parsed assuming the ISO 8601 ‘PT%(interval_seconds)fS’ format
orbit_index path /@orbit
validity path /PRODUCT/SUPPORT_DATA/DETAILED_RESULTS/processing_quality_flags[]
description the uint32 data is cast to int32
