Data Format

For future data evaluations on the Central Facility and for generating GEOMS compliant HDF output files (as used by ESA and NASA for validation of spaceborne sensors) the desired name, the affiliation, the address and the email of the Principal Investigator (PI), of the Data Originator (DO), and of the Data Submitter (DS) of your EM27SUN site has to be provided. Please also note the pdf document geoms-1.0 and the EVDC ESA data protocol. 

The choice of the meta-information (PI, DO, DS) can be context-sensitive, e.g. several choices per spectrometer and/or per campaign timeframe can be provided, if required.

The entries for the name, affiliation and address are required in a specific format. Two entries for the name and affiliation as well as three entries for the address are mandatory, each separated by a semicolon. The valid entries for the affiliation and the country are listed in the file tableattrvalue_04RXXX.dat.
