Ingestion options

The table below lists the available ingestion options for S4-L2-NO2 products.

option name

legal values

description

total_column

summed, total

whether to use nitrogen_dioxide_doas_total_column (which is derived from the total slant column divided by the total amf) or nitrogen_dioxide_summed_total_column (which is the sum of the retrieved tropospheric and stratospheric columns); option values are ‘summed’ (default) and ‘total’
