## Ingestion options

The table below lists the available ingestion options for `GOMOS_L1_LIMB` products.

option name | legal values | description
--- | --- | ---
spectra | upper, lower | retrieve the upper (default, spectra=upper) or lower (spectra=lower) background spectra
corrected | false | retrieve the corrected (default) or uncorrected (corrected=false) background spectra

## Mapping description

GOMOS Level 1 products only contain a single profile; all measured profile points will be provided in order from high altitude to low altitude in the profile

The table below details where and how each variable was retrieved from the input product.
