## Mapping description

The table below details where and how each variable was retrieved from the input product.

field name | mapping description
--- | ---
datetime_start | path | /@time_coverage_start
description | datetime converted from a start date to seconds since 2000-01-01
datetime_stop | path | /@time_coverage_end
description | datetime converted from an end date to seconds since 2000-01-01
longitude | path | /lon[]
latitude | path | /lat[]
pressure | path | /surface_pressure[], /air_pressure[]
description | repeat location independent air pressure profile (/air_pressure[]) for each grid point and replace value at the lowest level by location dependent surface pressure (/surface_pressure[])
pressure_bounds | path | /surface_pressure[], /air_pressure[]
description | repeat location independent air pressure profile (/air_pressure[]) for each grid point and replace value at the lowest level by location dependent surface pressure (/surface_pressure[]); upper and lower pressure for each profile is based on log-linear interpolation of profile (i.e. upper bound is sqrt(pressure[i+1] * pressure[i]), and lower bound is sqrt(pressure[i] * pressure[i-1])); the lower bound of level 0 is set to pressure[0] and the upper bound for level n-1 is set to pressure[n-1]
O3_number_density | path | /O3_ndens[]
O3_number_density_uncertainty | path | /O3e_ndens[]
O3_volume_mixing_ratio | path | /O3_vmr[]
O3_volume_mixing_ratio_uncertainty | path | /O3e_vmr[]
