List of measurement wind profiles id field name definition 0 mie_reference_pulse_quality_flag binary uint8 size: 1 Mie internal reference quality flag. This field is a 8-bit long, bit-packed field, of reference pulse validity information. When the data is valid, this field will be 0. Bit 1: Overall validity. Data invalid 1, otherwise 0; Bit 2: For Mie, peak not found 1, otherwise 0. For Rayleigh, this is always 0; Bit 3: All reference pulses corresponding to the current measurement eliminated (source packet invalid, data corruption, or laser frequency unlocked) 1, otherwise 0; Bit 4: Default 0; Bit 5: Default 0; Bit 6: Default 0; Bit 7: Default 0; Bit 8: Default 0 1 rayleigh_reference_pulse_quality_flag binary uint8 size: 1 Rayleigh internal reference quality flag. This field is a 8-bit long, bit-packed field, of reference pulse validity information. When the data is valid, this field will be 0. Bit 1: Overall validity. Data invalid 1, otherwise 0; Bit 2: For Rayleigh, Rayleigh response not found 1, otherwise 0; Bit 3: All reference pulses corresponding to the current measurement eliminated (source packet invalid, data corruption, or laser frequency unlocked) 1, otherwise 0; Bit 4: Default 0; Bit 5: Default 0; Bit 6: Default 0; Bit 7: Default 0; Bit 8: Default 0 2 mie_altitude_bin_wind_info binary array[24] size: 216 binary record size: 9 Mie altitude bin wind velocity information for each altitude id field name definition 0 bin_quality_flag binary uint8 size: 1 This field is a 1 byte, bit-packed field, where the first 4 bits represent contain the bin-level validity information, and the next 4 bits are the measurementlevel validity information. When the data is valid, this field will be 0. Bit 1: Overall validity. Data invalid 1, otherwise 0; Bit 2: For Mie, peak not found 1, otherwise 0. For Rayleigh, rayleigh response not found 1, otherwise 0; Bit 3: Data saturation found 1, otherwise 0; Bit 4: Data spike found 1, otherwise 0; Bit 5: Reference pulse invalid 1, otherwise 0; Bit 6: Source packet invalid 1, otherwise 0; Bit 7: Laser Frequency not locked 1, otherwise 0; Bit 8: Spacecraft attitude not on target 1, otherwise 0 1 wind_velocity binary double size: 8 Wind velocity at the altitude bin. If the Bin_Quality_Flag is non-zero (invalid), this value will be set to 0 unit: "m/s" 3 rayleigh_altitude_bin_wind_info binary array[24] size: 216 binary record size: 9 Rayleigh altitude bin wind velocity information for each altitude id field name definition 0 bin_quality_flag binary uint8 size: 1 This field is a 1 byte, bit-packed field, where the first 4 bits represent contain the bin-level validity information, and the next 4 bits are the measurementlevel validity information. When the data is valid, this field will be 0. Bit 1: Overall validity. Data invalid 1, otherwise 0; Bit 2: For Mie, peak not found 1, otherwise 0. For Rayleigh, rayleigh response not found 1, otherwise 0; Bit 3: Data saturation found 1, otherwise 0; Bit 4: Data spike found 1, otherwise 0; Bit 5: Reference pulse invalid 1, otherwise 0; Bit 6: Source packet invalid 1, otherwise 0; Bit 7: Laser Frequency not locked 1, otherwise 0; Bit 8: Spacecraft attitude not on target 1, otherwise 0 1 wind_velocity binary double size: 8 Wind velocity at the altitude bin. If the Bin_Quality_Flag is non-zero (invalid), this value will be set to 0 unit: "m/s"
