0 DATA_DESCRIPTION Spectral radiance measurements made with a spectroradiometer on-board a ship Free description of the data set
1 DATA_DISCIPLINE ATMOSPHERIC.PHYSICS;INSITU;SHIP Discipline field; Acquisition method; Acquisition platform
2 DATA_GROUP EXPERIMENTAL; PROFILE.MOVING Origin of the data (experimental, model, or a combination of both);spatial characteristics of the data.
3 DATA_LOCATION POLARSTERN The name of the ship (platform)
4 DATA_SOURCE SPECTRORADIOMETER_ULEICESTER001 The 1st field indicates the type of instrument that provides the data in the file; the 2nd field indicates the institutional owner of the instrument (acronym) and a unique numerical identifier to distinguish between instruments from the same owner: in the example given the instrument belongs to the University of Leicester (ULEICESTER)
5 DATA_LEVEL H2 Example: level 2 data at a hourly temporal sampling
6 DATA_VARIABLES DATETIME;
LATITUDE;
LONGITUDE;
WAVELENGTH;
RADIANCE.DOWNWELLING_SPECTRAL;
RADIANCE.UPWELLING_SPECTRAL
For the moving ship, latitude and longitude will be datetime-dependent arrays;the radiance variables will be arrays depending on wavelength
