GOMOS data products: GOM_TRA_1P

PRODUCT ID GOM_TRA_1P
NAME Geolocated Calibrated Transmission Spectra and Photometer Fluxes
DESCRIPTION Level 1b - Localized calibrated transmissions and photometer fluxes

One product corresponds to one occultation.

The Level 1b data product contains several fields; the key ones are:

- Full transmission spectra.

- Central background spectra.

- Photometers engineering data.

COVERAGE Tangent height range: 15 km to 100 km

Elevation range: +62 to +68 °

Azimuth range: +90° to +190° (with respect to the flight direction)

GEOMETRIC RESOLUTION Vertical sampling per acquisition: 1.7 km maximum (depending on the geometry and the duration of the occultation).
SIZE Typical: 4 Mbytes/occultation (depends on the duration of the occultation)

GOMOS product GOM_LIM_1P

PRODUCT ID GOM_LIM_1P
NAME Level 1b-Limb spectra

GEOMETRIC RESOLUTION Vertical sampling per acquisition: 1.7 km maximum (depending on the geometry/duration of the occultation).
SIZE Typical: 3 Mbytes/occultation (depends on the duration of the occultation)

Level 2 products

The following are examples of data in the Level 2 and residual extinction products (resulting from the Level 2 processing chain).

Example 1: Profiles of local densities for all gases:
