/geolocation_limb[]/dsr_time |
description |
records in geolocation_limb do not have a one-to-one mapping with records in the limb/occultation measurement datasets; HARP uses a single measurement time and tangent location per profile which is taken from the middlemost measurement used for the retrieval (i.e. index = (n_meas - 1) / 2); the geolocation record for this measurement is retrieved by matching the measurement time measurement_grid[(n_meas - 1) / 2].dsr_time with the geolocation record time geolocation_limb[]/dsr_time |
