COMMENT FIRAS specific keywords
CHANSCAN= 'HIGH ' / Field indicating combination of data from
COMMENT / various channels and mirror transport
COMMENT / mechanism scan modes. LOWF is a combination
COMMENT / of the low frequency RLSS, RLFS, RLFL, LLSS,
COMMENT / LLFS, and LLFL data. HIGH is a combination of
COMMENT / the high frequency RHSS, RHSF, RHLF, LHSS,
COMMENT / LHSF, and LHLF data. HIF2, HIF3, and HIF4
COMMENT / divide the HIGH data into three frequency
COMMENT / bands, as indicated by the NU_ZERO and
COMMENT / NUM_FREQ fields. HRES is a combination of the
COMMENT / high resolution RLLF and LLLF data. For the
COMMENT / uncombined channel/scan mode labels, the first
COMMENT / two characters of the label indicate the
COMMENT / channel, the first being the instrument side:
COMMENT / right (R) or left (L); and the second being
COMMENT / the frequency: high (H) or low (L). The
COMMENT / third and fourth characters indicate the scan
COMMENT / mode, the third being the scan length: short
COMMENT / (S) or long (L); and the fourth being the scan
COMMENT / speed: slow (S) or fast (F). In addition,
COMMENT / the scan mode may take the following values
COMMENT / for low frequency data only (channel = RL or
COMMENT / LL):
COMMENT / FS: decimated SF data;
COMMENT / FL: truncated LF data.
MODLLABL= 'PASS4 ' / FIRAS calibration model solution label
MISS_SEG= 'ENTIRE_MISSION' / FIRAS segment of mission represented
NU_ZERO = 612.187290000 / Optical frequency of initial data point in GHz
DELTA_NU= 13.6041620000 / Optical frequency interval between data points
