BEAT-II Record: SCIAMACHY_L1c_limb

Fields

The table below gives an overview of possible fields that can be returned from an ingestion of SCIAMACHY_L1c_limb data. The 'default' column indicates whether the specified data item is included in the ingestion by default or not. You can change which data items are ingested by making use of the include and exclude filter options (see below).

Ingestion filter options

Ingestion filter options are passed as a ',' or ';' separated string to the ingestion function. Each filter option needs to be formulated as option_name=value[ value value] (some options accept more than one value). For example, if a product has filter options 'altitude_min' and 'time_min' you can provide a filter option string "latitude_min=30,time_min=2003-01-01" to get all measurements at or above 30km and on or after January 1st 2003.

option name	type	description
product_version	integer	If multiple product format versions for this product type exist, you can use this filter option to select from which ones data should be ingested (i.e. you can provide a space-separated list of allowed product format version numbers). The list of available version numbers for this product type can be found in the CODA Product Format Definitions documentation.
data	string	Since this record type is not the default type of data that will be ingested for a SCIAMACHY_L1c product, you will have to provide a filter option data=limb to get this type of record.
include	string	Provide a space-separated list of field names to ingest additional data items (i.e. fields that are not ingested by default). You can use the special case include=* to indicate that you want to ingest all available data items.
exclude	string	Provide a space-separated list of field names that you don't want ingested. Mind that the exclude filter is processed after the include filter.
time_min	time*	Only include elements for which the value is greater than or equal to the provided filter option value
time_max	time*	Only include elements for which the value is less than or equal to the provided filter option value
time	time*	Only include elements that match the list of given filter option values
