Giovanni-3 Operation Technical Summary: Cross Section and Vertical Profile Renderer

Cross Section and Vertical Profile Renderer (Lat-Pressure or Lon-Pressure)

The cross section and vertical profile rendering serviceis designed to produce a cross-section (or profile if single lat or long is chosen) image.

Inputs:

1. Geophysical Variable (the geophysical variable should be a 3D parameter and have the same vertical units)
2. Area (Longitude, Latitude)
3. 2 Pressure Levels (Upper and Lower)
4. Time (Year,  Month, Day)

Outputs:

• Lat or Lon along X-axis, pressure values along Y-axis
• Labeled vertical cross-section for the specific time (averaged for multiple days)
• For a single latitute or longitude value, the renderer generates a single profile rather than a cross-section

File Type:

Input: HDF-EOS4

Output: Cross-section image (or profile)

Cross-Section and Vertical Profile Renderer (Time-Pressure)

The cross section plot rendering serviceis designed to produce a cross-section (or profile if the same Begin Time and Time are chosen) image.

Inputs:

1. Geophysical Variables (the geophysical variable should be 3D parameter and have the same vertical units)
2. Area (Longitude, Latitude)
3. 2 Pressure levels (Upper and Lower)
4. 2 Times (Begin Time and End Time)

Outputs:

• Time along X-axis, pressure values along Y-axis
• Labeled vertical cross-section for the given time period, averaged over chosen latitude and longitude
• The renderer will generate a single profile if the  Begin Time and End Time are the same.

File Type:

Input: HDF-EOS4

Output: Cross-section image (or profile)
