Product Description Overview
File naming conventionNetCDF files are named using the following convention: <convention-prefix>_<regional code>- <institution>,<platform(s)>,<grid>_<time>_<mode>_<product version>_<file version>.nc
Example NetCDF naming for operationally processed data: W_XX-ESA,SMOS_CS2,NH_25KM_EASE2_20190304_20190310_o_v204_01_l4sit.nc Example NetCDF naming for reprocessed data: W_XX-ESA,SMOS_CS2,NH_25KM_EASE2_20190304_20190310_r_v204_01_l4sit.nc File FormatThe weekly |

NetCDF file naming
NetCDF files of near-real time processed data are named:
awi-cs2smos-l4-sithick-cryosat2_smos_merged-nrt-nh_25km_ease2-yyyymmdd_ yyyymmdd-fv2p0.nc
NetCDF files of reprocessed data are named:
awi-cs2smos-l4-sithick-cryosat2_smos_merged-rep-nh_25km_ease2-yyyymmdd_ yyyymmdd-fv2p0.nc
Description of NetCDF data files
The weekly analysisgrids are given in standardized binary data format (Network common data form: NetCDF v4). Global attributes are given in Table 1. The variables are given as grid arrays, see |
Table 2. NetCDF files are formatted according to CF conventions: CF-1.6 ACDD-1.3. |
We use a scaling factor of 10^-3 and a fillvalue = -2147483647. Table 1: Global attributes from an example NetCDF file, covering the week from March 04 to March 10, 2019.
Table 2: NetCDF file content. Note, that we use a scaling factor of 10^-3 and a fillvalue = -2147483647 |

Grid
All grids are projected onto the 25 km EASE2 Grid, which is based on a polar aspect spherical Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection (Brodzik et al., 2012). The grid dimension is 5400 km x 5400 km, equal to a 432 x 432 grid. The grid is centered on the geographic Pole, meaning that the Pole is located at the intersection of center cells (Figure 1).
