Python code for reading and processing EarthCARE ATLID L1B data

Python code for reading and processing EarthCARE ATLID L1B data The code reads EarthCARE ATLID Level 1B data and produces daily/zonally averaged vertical profiles of optical and meteorological parameters on a regular latitude/altitude grid of 1 degree and 500 m respectively (L3 product). The data are saved into NetCDF files for each day. The saved parameters are: "ASR": (["latitude", "altitude"], ASR_data, {"units": "1", "_FillValue": fill_value, "long_name": "Scattering Ratio"}), "DEPOL": (["latitude", "altitude"], DEPOL_data, {"units": "1", "_FillValue": fill_value, "long_name": "Depolarization Ratio"}), "MIE": (["latitude", "altitude"], MIE_data, {"units": "m-1 sr-1", "_FillValue": fill_value, "long_name": "Copolar Mie attenuated backscatter"}), "MIE2": (["latitude", "altitude"], MIE2_data, {"units": "m-1 sr-1", "_FillValue": fill_value, "long_name": "Cross-polar attenuated backscatter"}), "RAB": (["latitude", "altitude"], RAB_data, {"units": "m-1 sr-1", "_FillValue": fill_value, "long_name": "Rayleigh attenuated backscatter"}), "TEMP": (["latitude", "altitude"], TEMP_data, {"units": "K", "_FillValue": fill_value, "long_name": "Temperature in K"}), "PRESS": (["latitude", "altitude"], PRESS_data, {"units": "mbar", "_FillValue": fill_value, "long_name": "Pressure"}), "TROPO_max": (["latitude"], TROPO_data_max, {"units": "m", "_FillValue": fill_value, "long_name": "Tropopause Height Max"}), "TROPO": (["latitude"], TROPO_data,
