160radio_landocean_flag
binary uint16size: 2
Radiometer land/ocean type flag. This flag has two states: 0 = Ocean, 1 = Land. In NRT, when MWR data are not available, this flag is set to its maximum value. In OFL, when MWR data are not available, this flag is set to its default value which is 1 (land)
