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