Description
Level 1D DLR files contain a combined thumbnail image that contains 4 images: 1356 Angstrom, LBH Short (denoted LBH1),
LBH Long (denoted LBH2), and solar zenith angle. Separate files are created for Channel A and Channel B data. A new L1D file
is generated for each new L1C file. These can correspond to either the Northern or Southern hemisphere.
Combined file definition (image size = 1024 x 1024 pixels)
