giuseppe@125 7 ELDEC Products: dimensions
giuseppe@125 8 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
giuseppe@125 9
giuseppe@125 10 The following dimensions are defined in ELDEC products:
giuseppe@125 11
giuseppe@125 12 - time
giuseppe@125 13 - altitude
giuseppe@125 14 - ratio
giuseppe@125 15 - calibration
giuseppe@125 16 - nv
giuseppe@125 17
giuseppe@125 18 The dimension *time* (mandatory) specifies the number of calibration performed at different times.
giuseppe@125 19
giuseppe@125 20 The dimension *altitude* (mandatory) represents the number of rangebins characterizing
giuseppe@125 21 the reflected to transmitted polarization calibration ratio.
giuseppe@125 22
giuseppe@125 23 The dimension *ratio* (mandatory) indicates the number reflected to transmitted ratios included in the product.
giuseppe@125 24
giuseppe@125 25 The dimension *calibration* indicates the number of calibrations provided by the product.
giuseppe@125 26
giuseppe@125 27 The dimension *nv* (mandatory) is ancillary and it is always set to 2.
