## Ingestion options

The table below lists the available ingestion options for `GOMOS_L2` products.

option name | legal values | description

## Mapping description

GOMOS Level 2 products only contain a single profile; all measured profile points will be provided in reverse order (from low altitude to high altitude) in the profile

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