id | field name | definition |
0 | which_range_bin |
binary uint8 | size: 1 |
Defines whether this observation was classified as cloud, no cloud

|
1 | observation_type |
binary uint8 | size: 1 |
Remember if this was a cloud or no-cloud profile (or any other type we define)
|
|
2 | validity_flag |
binary uint8 | size: 1 |
Validity flag (1 or TRUE = valid, 0 or FALSE = invalid) attached to the reported wind velocity. Details on the reasons why a result is invalid can be found in the l2b mie wind pcd - ads dataset.

|
4 | rayleigh_wind_to_pressure |
binary int16 | size: 2 |
First-order derivative of the HLOS wind with respect to the pressure inside the sensing volume. This parameter may be used to correct the reported HLOS wind from pressure modifications brought by the assimilation.

|
|
5 | rayleigh_wind_to_temperature |
binary int16 | size: 2 |
First-order derivative of the HLOS wind with respect to the temperature inside the sensing volume. This parameter may be used to correct the reported HLOS wind from temperature modifications brought by the assimilation.

|
|
6 | rayleigh_wind_to_backscatter_ratio |
binary int16 | size: 2 |
First-order derivative of the HLOS wind with respect to the backscattering ratio inside the sensing volume. This parameter may be used to correct the reported HLOS wind if the reference backscatter ratio is modified.
unit: "cm/s"
|
|
7 | reference_pressure |
binary uint32 | size: 4 |
Reference pressure used for inverting the Rayleigh response into an HLOS wind. This pressure information is taken from the numerical weather prediction model.
unit: "Pa"
|
|
8 | reference_temperature |
binary uint16 | size: 2 |
Reference temperature used for inverting the Rayleigh response into an HLOS wind. This temperature information is taken from the numerical weather prediction model.
