Ingestion options
The table below lists the available ingestion options for S5P_L2_AER_LH products.
| option name | legal values | description | 
|---|---|---|
| aerosol_pressure | unclipped | ingest the aerosol_mid_pressure that is clipped to the surface pressure (default) or the unclipped variant (aerosol_pressure=unclipped) | 
| surface_albedo | 772 | whether to ingest the surface albedo at 758nm (default) or the surface alebedo at 772nm (surface_albedo=772); this option only has an effect for processor version >= 02.06.00 (for older products always the albedo at 758nm is ingested) |
