# IASI_L1

## Variables

The table below lists the variables that are present in the HARP product that results from an ingestion of `IASI_L1` data.

field name | type | dimensions | unit | description
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
datetime | double | {time} | [seconds since 2000-01-01] | time of the measurement
orbit_index | int32 |  |  | absolute orbit number
latitude | double | {time} | [degree_north] | center latitude of the measurement
longitude | double | {time} | [degree_east] | center longitude of the measurement
wavenumber_radiance | float | {time, spectral} | [W/m^2.sr.m^-1] | measured radiances
wavenumber | float | {time, spectral} | [m^-1] | nominal wavelength assignment for each of the detector pixels
scan_subindex | int8 | {time} |  | relative index (0-119) of this measurement within an MDR
index | int32 | {time} |  | zero-based index of the sample within the source product

## Mapping description

IASI Level 1 products contain a number of scanlines, each scanline contains 30 scans, each scan contains 4 spectra and each spectrum contains 8700 measurements

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