Mapping description
The table below details where and how each variable was retrieved from the input product.
| field name | mapping description | |
|---|---|---|
| scan_subindex | description | the scanline and pixel dimensions are collapsed into a temporal dimension; the index of the pixel within the scanline is computed as the index on the temporal dimension modulo the number of scanlines | 
| datetime_start | path | /PRODUCT/time, /PRODUCT/delta_time[] | 
| description | time converted from milliseconds since a reference time (given as seconds since 2010-01-01) to seconds since 2010-01-01 (using 86400 seconds per day); the time associated with a scanline is repeated for each pixel in the scanline | |
| datetime_length | path | /@time_coverage_resolution | 
| description | the measurement length is parsed assuming the ISO 8601 ‘PT%(interval_seconds)fS’ format | |
| orbit_index | path | /@orbit | 
| latitude | path | /PRODUCT/latitude[] | 
| longitude | path | /PRODUCT/longitude[] | 
| latitude_bounds | path | /PRODUCT/SUPPORT_DATA/GEOLOCATIONS/latitude_bounds[] | 
| longitude_bounds | path | /PRODUCT/SUPPORT_DATA/GEOLOCATIONS/longitude_bounds[] |

| sensor_azimuth_angle | path | /PRODUCT/SUPPORT_DATA/GEOLOCATIONS/viewing_azimuth_angle[] | 
| wavelength_bounds | description | set to [312.5,338.5] for UVAB, [356.5,390] for UVA, and [390,423] for blue | 
| diffuse_attenuation_coefficient | path | /PRODUCT/KD_UVAB[], /PRODUCT/KD_UVA[], /PRODUCT/KD_blue[] |
