Dear all, I am wondering whether anyone might know a good name for per pixel time offset in MSG data.
A complete meteosat full disk scan takes 25 minutes, because the imager scans the disk line by line. This means that each line of pixels is observed at consecutive times. The first pixels have a time offset of zero, while the last pixels are measured several minutes later. We would like to make this information available in a standard way. We would like to define a 2D (x,y) variable field in which the time of observation is stored for each pixel (relative to the start of the scan, starting at zero). What would be a good standard name for this variable? We came up with two names...: - pixel_delta_time (s) - time_offset_of_observation (s) What do you think?
