+ELPP Products
+----------------
+
+This section describe the structure of ELPP products.
+
+
+ELPP Products: dimensions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following dimensions are defined in ELPP products:
+
+-  time
+-  level
+-  channel
+-  depolarization
+-  angle
+-  nv
+-  nc   
+
+The dimension *time* (mandatory) specifies the number of RCS (for each channel)
+composing all the pre-processed time-series reported in the products.
+
+The dimension *level* (mandatory) represents the number of rangebins characterizing
+the pre-processed RCS.
+
+The dimension *channel* (mandatory) indicates the number channels at which the RCS
+time-series included in the product refer to.
+
+The dimension *depolarization* (optional) indicates how many volume depolarization time-series are included in the products.
+
+The dimension *angle* (mandatory) takes into account how many zenith scan angles have been used to measure the RCS time-series reported into the products.
+
+The dimension *nv* (mandatory) is ancillary and it is always set to 2.
+
+The dimension *nc* (optional) is ancillary and provides the number of channels involved in the calculation of RCS or volume depolarization time-series.
