10 The following dimensions are defined in ELDEC products: |
|
11 |
|
12 - time |
|
13 - altitude |
|
14 - ratio |
|
15 - calibration |
|

|
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. |
