## Ingestion options

The table below lists the available ingestion options for `S5P_L2_SO2` products.

option name | legal values | description
--- | --- | ---
so2_column | 1km, 7km, 15km, lh | whether to ingest the anothropogenic SO2 column at the PBL (default), the SO2 column from the 1km box profile (so2_column=1km), from the 7km box profile (so2_column=7km), from the 15km box profile (so2_column=15km), or the SO2 column consistent with the SO2 layer height (so2_column=lh); providing this option will only work for NRTI data or for OFFL data with processor version >= 01.01.01 (otherwise an empty product is returned); layer height data is only available for processor version >= 02.05.00
