Current document describes the format of the new product. Please also refer to the short summary of the CF convention over the NetCDF files and to the original source CF convention.

Product design

Given:

lat, lon, time, 4 parameters: Q – water vapor, W – cloud liquid, V – wind speed, T – temperature. 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.
