ulalume3@99 | 4 | .. warning:: |
ulalume3@99 | 5 | This section is still under development. |

ulalume3@99 | 8 | Introduction |
ulalume3@99 | 9 | ------------ |
ulalume3@99 | 10 | |
ulalume3@99 | 11 | The Single Calculus Chain (SCC) is the standard EARLINET tool to perform |
ulalume3@99 | 12 | automatic and quality nchecked analysis of raw lidar data. It is |
ulalume3@99 | 13 | composed by three different modules: |
ulalume3@99 | 14 | |
ulalume3@99 | 15 | - ELPP (EARLINET Lidar Pre-Processor) |
ulalume3@99 | 16 | - ELDA (EARLINET Lidar Data Analizer) |
ulalume3@99 | 17 | - ELDEC (EARLINET Lidar DEpolarization Calibrator) |
ulalume3@99 | 18 | |
ulalume3@99 | 19 | Whenever an input file containing raw lidar data has been submitted to |
ulalume3@99 | 20 | the SCC ELPP is automatically ran on it. The ELPP module pre-processes |
ulalume3@99 | 21 | the raw data performing all the corrections and data handling needed |
ulalume3@99 | 22 | before the optical retrieval algorithms can be applied by ELDA module. |
ulalume3@99 | 23 | The ELPP output files contain pre-processed range corrected signals |
ulalume3@99 | 24 | corrected for instrumental effects as well as atmospheric molecular |
ulalume3@99 | 25 | parameters calculated from standard model or radiosounding. Typically, |
ulalume3@99 | 26 | the vertical and temporal resolutions of the pre-processed signals |
ulalume3@99 | 27 | included in these files is lower than the raw vertical and temporal |
ulalume3@99 | 28 | resolution as in general time/vertical integration is performed by ELPP |
ulalume3@99 | 29 | to increase the SNR and allow the calculation of optical products with a |
ulalume3@99 | 30 | reduced uncertainties. As a consequence the ELPP output files are called |
ulalume3@99 | 31 | Low Resolution SCC L1 Products. Another SCC module (HiRELPP – High |
ulalume3@99 | 32 | Resolution EARLINET Lidar Pre-Processor) currently under development |
ulalume3@99 | 33 | will produce High Resolution SCC L1 Products in which both time and |
ulalume3@99 | 34 | vertical resolution are kept as higher as possible. |
ulalume3@99 | 35 | |
ulalume3@99 | 36 | This document provides a detailed description about the structure and |
ulalume3@99 | 37 | the format of Low Resolution SCC L1 Product as produced by the SCC v4.0. |
ulalume3@99 | 38 | |
ulalume3@99 | 39 | Low Resolution SCC L1 Product: File format |
ulalume3@99 | 40 | ------------------------------------------ |
ulalume3@99 | 41 | |
ulalume3@99 | 42 | The Low Resolution SCC L1 Products are files in Network Common Data Form |
ulalume3@99 | 43 | (NetCDF) which is a well known self-describing, machine-independent data |
ulalume3@99 | 44 | format that support the creation, access, and sharing of array-oriented |
ulalume3@99 | 45 | scientific data. For more information about NetCDF format: |
ulalume3@99 | 46 | http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/. |
ulalume3@99 | 47 | |
ulalume3@99 | 48 | The NetCDF is a binary format that allows the definition of |
ulalume3@99 | 49 | multi-dimensional variables of several types (integers, double, |
ulalume3@99 | 50 | character, etc). For each variable it is possible to define one or more |
ulalume3@99 | 51 | attributes where to specify variable properties like units, long name, |
ulalume3@99 | 52 | description, etc. |
ulalume3@99 | 53 | |
ulalume3@99 | 54 | It is possible to define global attributes which are not related to a |
ulalume3@99 | 55 | specific variable but to the whole file. |
ulalume3@99 | 56 | |
ulalume3@99 | 57 | A NetCDF file is composed by four different section: |
ulalume3@99 | 58 | |
ulalume3@101 | 59 | dimensions |
ulalume3@99 | 60 | this section contains all the dimensions used in the definition of |
ulalume3@99 | 61 | all the variables included in the NetCDF file |
ulalume3@99 | 62 | |
ulalume3@101 | 63 | variables |
ulalume3@99 | 64 | this section contains all the variables stored in the NetCDF file. |
ulalume3@99 | 65 | Each variable is defined as a multi-dimensional array of a specific |
ulalume3@99 | 66 | type and with all the dimensions defined in the dimensions section |
ulalume3@99 | 67 | |
ulalume3@101 | 68 | global attributes |
ulalume3@99 | 69 | this section lists all the attributes referring to the whole file. As |
ulalume3@99 | 70 | the variable the attributes (global or the one attached to a specific |
ulalume3@99 | 71 | variable) can be of different type |
ulalume3@99 | 72 | |
ulalume3@101 | 73 | data |
ulalume3@99 | 74 | in this section the data contained in each variable defined in |
ulalume3@99 | 75 | variable section is stored. Attribute values (both global or related |
ulalume3@99 | 76 | to a specific variable) are not reported in data section but directly |
ulalume3@99 | 77 | in variable or global attribute sections. |
ulalume3@99 | 78 | |
ulalume3@99 | 79 | Each Low Resolution SCC L1 Product correspond to a single emission |
ulalume3@99 | 80 | wavelength. For example it is possible to find in the same file the |
ulalume3@99 | 81 | elastic and the Raman channel pre-processed time-series corresponding to |
ulalume3@99 | 82 | the same emission wavelength (but to a different detection wavelengths) |
ulalume3@99 | 83 | but not two elastic time-series referring to different emission |
ulalume3@99 | 84 | wavelengths. |

ulalume3@99 | 87 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
ulalume3@99 | 88 | |
ulalume3@99 | 89 | The following dimensions are defined in the Low Resolution SCC L1 |
ulalume3@99 | 90 | Product: |

ulalume3@99 | 93 | - points |
ulalume3@99 | 94 | - channels |
ulalume3@99 | 95 | - scan\_angles |
ulalume3@99 | 96 | |
ulalume3@99 | 97 | The dimension *time* specifies the number of RCS (for each channel) |
ulalume3@99 | 98 | composing all the pre-processed time-series reported in the file. |
ulalume3@99 | 99 | |
ulalume3@99 | 100 | The dimension *points* represents the number of rangebins characterizing |
ulalume3@99 | 101 | the pre-processed RCS. In case RCSs corresponding to different channels |
ulalume3@99 | 102 | are characterized by different rangebins the dimension time is to the |
ulalume3@99 | 103 | the maximum value of rangebins. |
ulalume3@99 | 104 | |
ulalume3@99 | 105 | The dimension *channels* indicates the number channels at which the RCS |
ulalume3@99 | 106 | time-series included in the file refer to. |
ulalume3@99 | 107 | |
ulalume3@99 | 108 | The dimension *scan\_angles* takes into account how many zenith scan |
ulalume3@99 | 109 | angles have been used to measure the RCS time-series reported into the |
ulalume3@99 | 110 | file |
ulalume3@99 | 111 | |

ulalume3@99 | 1314 | Low Resolution SCC L1 Product Filename |
ulalume3@99 | 1315 | -------------------------------------- |
ulalume3@99 | 1316 | |
ulalume3@99 | 1317 | The filename of the Low Resolution SCC L1 Products has the following |
ioannis@102 | 1318 | format:: |
ulalume3@99 | 1319 | |
ioannis@103 | 1320 | measurementid_prodid.nc |
ulalume3@99 | 1321 | |
ulalume3@99 | 1322 | The *measurementid* is a 12 characters alphanumeric string identifying |
ulalume3@99 | 1323 | the measurement session at which the product refers to. The |
ulalume3@99 | 1324 | *measurementid* (which is unique for a given measurement session) allows |
ulalume3@99 | 1325 | to fully trance the SCC analysis performed on the current product. This |
ulalume3@99 | 1326 | can be done because each measurement session is recorded in a SCC |
ulalume3@99 | 1327 | database using the same string. In the same database the measurement |
ulalume3@99 | 1328 | session is linked to the lidar configuration used to analyze the data |
ulalume3@99 | 1329 | (which is recorded and fully characterized in the SCC database providing |
ulalume3@99 | 1330 | all the channel details) and to a set of optical products to calculate. |
ulalume3@99 | 1331 | |
ulalume3@99 | 1332 | The *prodid* is a numeric string identifying the optical product that |
ulalume3@99 | 1333 | has to be calculated by SCC (in particular ELDA module) by applying the |
ulalume3@99 | 1334 | optical retrieval algorithm on the current pre-processed L1 product. |
ulalume3@99 | 1335 | |
ulalume3@99 | 1336 | Different product types are defined within the SCC. The contents of a |
ulalume3@99 | 1337 | Low Resolution SCC L1 product depends on the type of the product |
ulalume3@99 | 1338 | specified in the its filename by prodid string. In particular only the |
ulalume3@99 | 1339 | **Aerosol Related Variables **\ and\ ** Polarization related variables** |
ulalume3@99 | 1340 | specified in the section 2.2 can change depending on product type. In |
ulalume3@99 | 1341 | Tab. 3.1 are reported the product-type related variables for each |
ulalume3@99 | 1342 | optical product type. |
ulalume3@99 | 1343 | |
ulalume3@99 | 1344 | To link the *prodid* string with the corresponding product type the SCC |
ulalume3@99 | 1345 | database a proper query to the SCC database should be addressed. |
