:1. Spectral bands
 
::Define as dimension rather than coordinate variable
 
::Pre-define band names
 
::Pre-define by wavelength/frequency range
 
::[[Spectral_Band|Proposal by Tom Whittaker]]
 
 
 
:2. Data quality
 
::Modifiers such as "percent_cloud_free"
 
 
 
:3. Node
 
::Daytime/nightttime
 
 
 
:4. Level 3-specific
 
::Local/solar time
 
 
 
:5. Level 2-specific
 
::Orbital parameters/swath geometry
 
 
 
:6. Level 1-specific
 
::Calibration tables/engineering parameters
