Abstract

Level 1D files contain a thumbnail image (PNG) for individual disk scans for Solar Zenith Angle (SZA). Separate files are created for Channel A and Channel B data. A new L1D file is generated for each new L1C file. These can correspond to either the Northern or Southern hemisphere. Individual file definitions (image size = 512 x 512 pixels). SZA solar zenith angle map is at the reference altitude of 150 km.
