7 CloudScreen Products: dimensions
8 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
9
10 The following dimensions are defined in CloudScreen products:
11
12 - time
13 - level
14 - nv
15
16 The dimension *time* (mandatory) specifies the number of cloudmask vertical profiles reported in the products.
17
18 The dimension *level* (mandatory) represents the number of rangebins characterizing
19 each cloudmask verical profile.
20
21 The dimension *nv* (mandatory) is ancillary and it is always set to 2.
