swath_level1b_template_numcoord.cdl

// This is a CDL template for storing satellite swath multiband (multichannel)
// geolocated and calibrated radiance data. These data are known as "Level 1B
// data".
//
// Only variables and their attributes that support the concept are included
// in the template.
//
// This template is part of an ongoing project by NASA's Dataset
// Interoperability Working Group (DIWG)
//
// Usage:
//      ncgen -b swath_level1b_template_numcoord.cdl
//      ncgen -k 4 -b swath_level1b_template_numcoord.cdl
