## Mapping description

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

field name | mapping description
--- | ---
scan_subindex | description | the scanline and pixel dimensions are collapsed into a temporal dimension; the index of the pixel within the scanline is computed as the index on the temporal dimension modulo the number of scanlines
datetime_start | path | /PRODUCT/time, /PRODUCT/delta_time[]
description | time converted from milliseconds since a reference time (given as seconds since 2010-01-01) to seconds since 2010-01-01 (using 86400 seconds per day); the time associated with a scanline is repeated for each pixel in the scanline
datetime_length | path | /@time_coverage_resolution
description | the measurement length is parsed assuming the ISO 8601 ‘PT%(interval_seconds)fS’ format
orbit_index | path | /@orbit

description | the uint32 data is cast to int32

description | the vertical grid is inverted to make it ascending; height is converted to altitude by adding surface_altitude
pressure_bounds | path | /PRODUCT/SUPPORT_DATA/DETAILED_RESULTS/pressure_levels[]
description | the vertical grid is inverted to make it ascending; the lower boundary of each layer is then taken from pressure_levels; the upper boundary is the lower boundary of the layer above or 1e-3 Pa for the upper most layer
