Description
This describes the data produce for ICON EUV Daytime O+ (DP 2.6), which is in NetCDF4 format. These files are named ICON_L2-6_EUV_YYYY-MM-DD_vXXrZZ.NC, where YYYY-MM-DD is the year month day and VXX shows the version number and rZZ shows the revision number of this file. Each individual file nominally contains 1 day (24 hours) of data. The L2 EUV Daytime files are produced from the L1 EUV files, and their primary data product is the O+ profile derived from a retrieval that is detailed in a paper: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11214-017-0385-1. In addition, many other parameters and geophysical data products are included in the file. The data are identified in one of 3 var_types: data – which contains the primary data product; support data – which contains parameters used in the retrieval such as geometry etc. that may also be useful in any analysis of this data; and ignore_data – which are recorded for debugging purposes and should not be used for publication without detailed discussion with the ICON team. The dimensions of the data also indicate its type. For example, anything with epoch as a dimension means there is 1 value corresponding to each instrument exposure. Anything with dimension Input_data corresponds to the input data, passed from Level 1. Anything with a dimension of model refers to the forward model parameters used as part of the inversion. Anything with dimension altitude corresponds to the altitude grid used for the inverted parameters.
