Current document describes the format of the new product. Please also refer to the [[NetCDF_format_specification|short summary]] of the CF convention prepared from the original source [http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-standard-names/guidelines CF convention].

== Product design ==
Given: <blockquote>lat, lon, time, 6 parameters: Q – water vapor, W – cloud liquid, Vhf – wind speed (high frequency algorithm), Vlf – wind speed (low frequency algorithm), T – temperature, tau - atmospheric absorption at 10.65 GHz. This is for one swath, and we have 14 ascending and 14 descending swaths per day. Time is for a scan, pixels in scan are always 196, number of scans per swath is about 2000 and this varies from swath to swath.</blockquote>

=== Product ID ===

SOLAB_AMSRE_L2_NN

<VENDOR_ID>_<INSTRUMENT_ID>_<PRODUCT_LEVEL>_<ALGORITHM>

=== Filename ===
There are several patterns for filename convention. For example, all ASCAT files use next convention:
<blockquote>
<INSTRUMENT_ID>_<PRODUCT_TYPE>_<PROCESSING_LEVEL>_<SPACECRAFT_ID>_
_<SENSING_START>_<SENSING_END>_<PROCESSING_MODE>_<DISPOSITION_MODE>_<PROCESSING_ TIME>
</blockquote>

Therefore, filename format of the developing SOLab product may use the next convention

SOLAB_AMSRE_L2_NN_yyyymmdd_nnn_i_vv.nc

* yyyymmdd- year, month and day
* nnn - orbit number
* i - orbit node: A or D
* vv - version (v1, v2...)
