| 1 | Spare_1 |
hidden: true
|
| 2 | Num_BRC |
| ascii uint16 |
|---|
|
Number of BRCs in the product. This is also the number of Data Set Records in the Measurement Data Sets as there is systematically one DSR for each BRC
|
|
| 3 | Intersect_Start_Lat |
| ascii int32 (double) |
|---|
Latitude of the intersection of WGS84 DEM and the satellite line-of-sight for the first measurement (first measurement centroid time of the first BRC)
unit: "1e-6 degrees_north"
converted unit: "degrees_north" (multiply by 1/1000000)
| attribute: unit |
| ascii string | size: 8 |

|
fixed value: "10-6DegN"
|
available: optional

|
|
| 4 | Intersect_Start_Long |
| ascii int32 (double) |
|---|
Longitude of the intersection of WGS84 DEM and the satellite line-of-sight for the first measurement (first measurement centroid time of the first BRC)
unit: "1e-6 degrees_east"
converted unit: "degrees_east" (multiply by 1/1000000)

|
fixed value: "10-6DegE"
|
available: optional

|
| 5 | Intersect_Stop_Lat |
| ascii int32 (double) |
|---|
Latitude of the intersection of WGS84 DEM and the satellite line-of-sight for the last measurement (last measurement centroid time of the last BRC)
unit: "1e-6 degrees_north"
converted unit: "degrees_north" (multiply by 1/1000000)
| attribute: unit |

|---|
Longitude of the intersection of WGS84 DEM and the satellite line-of-sight for the last measurement (last measurement centroid time of the last BRC)
unit: "1e-6 degrees_east"
converted unit: "degrees_east" (multiply by 1/1000000)

|
fixed value: "10-6DegE"
|
available: optional

|
|
| 7 | Sat_Track |
| ascii double |
|---|
Sub-satellite heading at the sensing start time in the MPH
unit: "degrees"
| attribute: unit |
| ascii string | size: 3 |

|
fixed value: "deg"
|
available: optional

|
| 9 | Max_Num_Prof |
| ascii uint16 |
|---|
|
Maximum number of profiles reserved for all the Measurement DSR in the file. Note that the use of several algorithms is possible for deriving the optical atmospheric profiles. The figure reported here is the maximum value of the total number of profiles produced by the algorirthms
|
|
| 10 | Num_Valid_Profiles |
| ascii uint16 |
|---|
|
Number of valid profiles. Beware, this number can be less than, or greater than the number of BRCs. This second option may happen when a discrimination is done in a BRC between e.g. cloudy and clear scenes and two independent profiles are produced
