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
