Dataset NameThe dataset names for all 4 EUMETSAT instruments follows the same basic format. INSTRUMENT_ID_PRODUCT_TYPE_PROCESSING_LEVEL_SPACECRAFT_ID_SENSING_START_ Example) IASI_xxx_1C_M02_20070101101500Z_20070101115500Z_N_O_20070101121500Z__ Where: INSTRUMENT_ID - 4 characters defining the instrument (ASCA, GOME, GRAS, IASI) |
|||
DatatypeThe datatype available is IASI. |
|||
Disposition ModeTesting **Operational Commissioning The phase or stage that EUMETSAT considers this data to be. **Note that data with a disposition mode set to "Operational" by EUMETSAT may still be considered pre-operational by NOAA. |

End OrbitThe number of the orbit (revolution) in which the satellite was traveling at the end of the coverage of the given dataset. |
|||
End TimeThe UTC date and time corresponding to the end of the coverage of the given dataset. Format is yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.fff where fff is the fraction of a second in milliseconds. |
|||
Inventory IDA unique numerical ID assigned to the data set for CLASS inventory purposes. |
|||
NodeThe ascending node refers to that portion of the orbit during which the satellite is heading northward. Descending refers to the southbound portion. |

SpatialRefers to the geographic area of interest to the user. This section of the search page allows the user to define the geographic area of interest. |
|||
Start OrbitThe number of the orbit (revolution) in which the satellite was traveling at the beginning of the coverage of the given dataset. |
|||
Start TimeThe UTC date and time corresponding to the beginning of the coverage of the given dataset. Format is yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.fff where fff is the fraction of a second in milliseconds. |
|||
TemporalRefers to the time span of interest to the user. This section of the search page allows the user to define the range of dates/times of interest. |

UTCCoordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the international time standard. It is the current term for what was referred to as Greenwich Meridian Time (GMT). Zero (0) hours UTC is midnight in Greenwich England, which lies on the zero longitudinal meridian. Universal time is based on a 24 hour clock, therefore, afternoon hours such as 4 pm UTC are expressed as 16:00 UTC (sixteen hours, zero minutes). |
