No supporting data has been generated for V1.0. This is because this version was provisional and has been superseded by V1.1 and V2.0
ONLY applies to profiling instruments where the altitude of the range gates varies over the duration of the file and to the data products aerosol-backscatter-radial-winds & depolarisation-ratio
Vertical dimension uses "index".
For profiling instruments (not the radiosondes)
the altitude variable and profile variables have dimensions of time and index
The version should be used if the altitude variable is likely to vary over the duration of the file.
aerosol-backscatter-radial-winds & depolarisation -ratio are both used in conjunction with the Doppler Aerosol Lidar. This is a scanning instrument - and uses index_of_range and index_of_angle to locate a point in space.
Corrects for CF non-conformities
NCAS-AMOF-1.1
NCAS-GENERAL-1.1 will also be accepted
Applies to ALL point measurements
Applies to sonde trajectories
Applies to profiling instruments where the altitude of the range gates is constant over the duration of the file.
Vertical dimension uses "altitude".
For profiling instruments (not the radiosondes) the altitude variable has dimensions of altitude and the profile variables have dimensions of time and altitude
The version should be used if the altitude variable does not vary over the duration of the file.
