Ingestion options

The table below lists the available ingestion options for S5P_L2_SO2 products.

option name legal values description
so2_column 1km, 7km, 15km whether to ingest the SO2 column derived from the TM5 profile (default), from the 1km box profile (so2_column=1km), from the 7km box profile (so2_column=7km), or from the 15km box profile (so2_column=15km); providing this option will only work for NRTI data (otherwise an empty product is returned)
