+SCC products filename
+==============================
+
+
+The filename of all SCC products has the following structure::
+
+
+ <station_code>_<product_type_ID>_<wavelength>_<productID>_<starttime>_<stoptime>_<measurementID>_<SCC_module>_<SCC\_version>.nc
+
+where:
+
++-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
+| *<station\_code>* | 3 digits code (for example pot) |
++-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
+| *<product\_type\_ID>* | numeric 3 digits (for example 002) |
++-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
+| *<wavelength>* | 4 digits reporting the wavelength in nm (for example 0532) |
++-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
+| *<productID>* | numeric 7 digits (for example 0000213) |
++-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
+| *<starttime>* | YYYYMMDDHHMM (for example 202102031832) |
++-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
+| *<stoptime>* | YYYYMMDDHHMM (for example 202102031944) |
++-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
+| *<measurementID>* | measurementID string (15 characters) |
++-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
+| *<SCC\_module>* | SCC module (hirelpp,cloudscreen,elpp,eldec,elda,elic) |
++-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
+| *<SCC\_version>* | SCC version (for example v5.2.0) |
++-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+The field *<product\_type\_ID>* is codified as it follows:
+
++------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+|Product\_type\_ID | Description |
++==================+======================================================+
+| *0* | Raman Bacskcatter |
++------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| *1* | Extinction only |
++------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| *2* | Lidar Ration and Extinction |
++------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| *3* | Elastic Backscatter |
++------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| *6* | Linear Polarization Calibration |
++------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| *7* | Raman Backscatter and Linear Depolarization Ratio |
++------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| *8* | Elastic Backscatter and Linear Depolarization Ratio |
++------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| *9* | High Resolution Pre-Processed data |
++------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+
+
+The field *<wavelength>* is available only for ELEC and ELDA data products (for all the other SCC data products is missing).
+For CloudScreen products the fields *<product\_type\_ID>*, *<wavelength>*, *<productID>* are missing.
