Description
Level 1D files contain a thumbnail image (PNG) for a single line plot with brightness of 1356, LBH Short
(denoted LBH1), and LBH Long (denoted LBH2) as a function of tangent altitude. A new L1D file is generated for each
new L1C file. These correspond to either the Northern or Southern hemisphere. Single line plot of the lowest latitude
brightness in (kilo-Rayleighs) as a function of tangent altitude (in kilometers) with the following 3 lines: 1356 from
133 to 137 nm, LBH band 1 from 140 to 148 nm, and LBH band 2 from 150 to 160 nm.
