HYPERNETS Product variables
The different L0A-L2B NetCDF files contain a range of different variables and metadata. The different product levels are detailed in HYPERNETS Product files. There are a number of main measurands (such as radiance, irradiance, reflectance, water-leaving radiance,…), which each have uncertainty variables for each of the components described in Uncertainty Propagation as well as error-correlation variables for the systematic uncertainty components.
In addition to these there are coordinate variables, wavelength and series/scans, as well as a number of common variables (i.e. present in each of the data products) that provide additional details about the measurement. Acquisition time, viewing zenith and azimuth angle, solar zenith and azimuth angle are examples of common variables with series or scans as dimension. Bandwidth is also a common variable which has the wavelength dimension. Then there are a few additional variables such as the quality flag variable and variables specifying the number of valid and total VNIR scans and specifying the number of valid and total SWIR scans (for the LANDHYPERNET network). The quality flag field consists of 32 bits. Every bit is related to the absence or presence of a flag as described in Flags description.
There are also a number of variables that are only present in some of the data products. For example, there is some additional information in the L0A files, such as integration times, values of the accelerometers, the requested and returned pan/tilt angles. This information is propagated to the L1A and L0B files, but not beyond.
A full list of the available variables is provided in Table 1.
