# GOMOS_L1_TRANSMISSION

## Variables

The table below lists the variables that are present in the HARP product that results from an ingestion of `GOMOS_L1_TRANSMISSION` data.

field name | type | dimensions | unit | description

orbit_index | int32 |  |  | absolute orbit number
latitude | double | {time} | [degree_north] | latitude of the apparent tangent point
longitude | double | {time} | [degree_east] | longitude of the apparent tangent point
altitude | double | {time} | [m] | altitude of the apparent tangent point
wavelength_photon_transmittance | double | {time, spectral} | [(count/s/cm2/nm)/(count/s/cm2/nm)] | wavelength photon transmittance of each spectrum measurement

wavelength | double | {spectral} | [nm] | nominal wavelength assignment for each of the detector pixels
sensor_latitude | double | {time} | [degree_north] | latitude of the satellite position at half-measurement
sensor_longitude | double | {time} | [degree_east] | longitude of the satellite position at half-measurement
sensor_altitude | double | {time} | [m] | altitude of the satellite at half-measurement
scene_type | int8 |  |  | illumination condition for each profile; enumeration values: dark (0), bright (1), twilight (2), straylight (3), twilight_straylight (4)
index | int32 | {time} |  | zero-based index of the sample within the source product

## Mapping description

GOMOS Level 1 products only contain a single profile; all measured transmission data 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.
