Data organization

The data are organized in a gridded data structure, i.e. data cubes. The tiles manifest as directories in the file system, and the images are stored within.

Data Cube definition

The spatial data cube definition is appended to each data cube, i.e. to each directory containing tiled datasets, see Data Cube definition.

File format

Refer to Output format for details on the file format and metadata.

Naming convention

The basename of the output files can be defined in the parameter-file. The basename will be appended by Module ID, product ID, and the file extension.
