ulalume3@97: Low Resolution SCC L1 Products ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: Document version: 1.0alpha ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: 1. .. rubric:: Introduction ulalume3@97: :name: introduction ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: The Single Calculus Chain (SCC) is the standard EARLINET tool to perform ulalume3@97: automatic and quality nchecked analysis of raw lidar data. It is ulalume3@97: composed by three different modules: ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: - ELPP (EARLINET Lidar Pre-Processor) ulalume3@97: - ELDA (EARLINET Lidar Data Analizer) ulalume3@97: - ELDEC (EARLINET Lidar DEpolarization Calibrator) ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: Whenever an input file containing raw lidar data has been submitted to ulalume3@97: the SCC ELPP is automatically ran on it. The ELPP module pre-processes ulalume3@97: the raw data performing all the corrections and data handling needed ulalume3@97: before the optical retrieval algorithms can be applied by ELDA module. ulalume3@97: The ELPP output files contain pre-processed range corrected signals ulalume3@97: corrected for instrumental effects as well as atmospheric molecular ulalume3@97: parameters calculated from standard model or radiosounding. Typically, ulalume3@97: the vertical and temporal resolutions of the pre-processed signals ulalume3@97: included in these files is lower than the raw vertical and temporal ulalume3@97: resolution as in general time/vertical integration is performed by ELPP ulalume3@97: to increase the SNR and allow the calculation of optical products with a ulalume3@97: reduced uncertainties. As a consequence the ELPP output files are called ulalume3@97: Low Resolution SCC L1 Products. Another SCC module (HiRELPP – High ulalume3@97: Resolution EARLINET Lidar Pre-Processor) currently under development ulalume3@97: will produce High Resolution SCC L1 Products in which both time and ulalume3@97: vertical resolution are kept as higher as possible. ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: This document provides a detailed description about the structure and ulalume3@97: the format of Low Resolution SCC L1 Product as produced by the SCC v4.0. ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: 1. .. rubric:: Low Resolution SCC L1 Product: File format ulalume3@97: :name: low-resolution-scc-l1-product-file-format ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: The Low Resolution SCC L1 Products are files in Network Common Data Form ulalume3@97: (NetCDF) which is a well known self-describing, machine-independent data ulalume3@97: format that support the creation, access, and sharing of array-oriented ulalume3@97: scientific data. For more information about NetCDF format: ulalume3@97: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/. ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: The NetCDF is a binary format that allows the definition of ulalume3@97: multi-dimensional variables of several types (integers, double, ulalume3@97: character, etc). For each variable it is possible to define one or more ulalume3@97: attributes where to specify variable properties like units, long name, ulalume3@97: description, etc. ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: It is possible to define global attributes which are not related to a ulalume3@97: specific variable but to the whole file. ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: A NetCDF file is composed by four different section: ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: - dimensions ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: this section contains all the dimensions used in the definition of ulalume3@97: all the variables included in the NetCDF file ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: - variables ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: this section contains all the variables stored in the NetCDF file. ulalume3@97: Each variable is defined as a multi-dimensional array of a specific ulalume3@97: type and with all the dimensions defined in the dimensions section ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: global attributes ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: this section lists all the attributes referring to the whole file.

Attribute values (both global or related ulalume3@97: to a specific variable) are not reported in data section but directly ulalume3@97: in variable or global attribute sections. ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: Each Low Resolution SCC L1 Product correspond to a single emission ulalume3@97: wavelength. For example it is possible to find in the same file the ulalume3@97: elastic and the Raman channel pre-processed time-series corresponding to ulalume3@97: the same emission wavelength (but to a different detection wavelengths) ulalume3@97: but not two elastic time-series referring to different emission ulalume3@97: wavelengths. ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: 1. ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: 1. .. rubric:: Low Resolution SCC L1 Product Format: dimensions ulalume3@97: :name: low-resolution-scc-l1-product-format-dimensions ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: The following dimensions are defined in the Low Resolution SCC L1 ulalume3@97: Product: ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: - time ulalume3@97: - points ulalume3@97: - channels ulalume3@97: - scan\_angles ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: The dimension *time* specifies the number of RCS (for each channel) ulalume3@97: composing all the pre-processed time-series reported in the file. ulalume3@97: ulalume3@97: The dimension *points* represents the number of rangebins characterizing ulalume3@97: the pre-processed RCS.
