The scans read by TKreadScan are a ”set”. For single swath data, one scan is
read so NumberScansInSet=1. For multiple swath data, one TKreadScan may
read more than one scan. For example, for SSM/I data one TKreadScan reads
1 NumberScansInSet 50
one low frequency scan and two high frequency scans. Therefore
NumberScansInSet=1 for the low frequency swath and Number-ScansInSet=2

(4) modeStatus

A summary of status modes. If all status modes are routine, all bits in modeStatus = 0. Routine
means that scan data has been measured in the normal operational situation as far as the status modes
are concerned. modeStatus does not assess geolocation quality. modeStatus is broken into 8 bit flags.
Each bit = 0 if the status is routine but the bit = 1 if the status is not routine. Bit 0 is the least
significant bit (i.e., if bit i = 1 and other bits = 0, the unsigned integer value is 2**i). The non-routine

(5) geoError
Type Array Unit

2-byte integer nscan N/A

A summary of geolocation errors in the scan. geoError is used to set a bit in dataQuality. A zero
integer value of geoError indicates ’good’ geolocation. A non-zero value broken down into the bit
flags below indicates the specified reason, where bit 0 is the least significant bit (i.e., if bit i = 1 and
other bits = 0 the unsigned integer value is 2**i). Bits 0, 4, 5, 8 and 9 are per pixel error flags. If the
number of bad pixels (for any of the reasons specified by these flags) is greater than the threshold
then bit 7 = 1 and each of these flags is set to 1 if any pixel is bad for that reason. At launch this
threshold is zero, so data is flagged if any pixel is bad. If the number of bad pixels is less than or
equal to the threshold then bit 7 = 0 and all of these flags are also 0.

Coordinates to the spacecraft body coordinates. Orbital Coordinates represent an orthogonal triad in
Geocentric Inertial Coordinates where the Z-axis is toward the geocentric nadir, the Y-axis is
perpendicular to the spacecraft velocity opposite the orbit normal direction, and the X-axis is
approximately in the velocity direction for a near circular orbit. Note this is geocentric, not geodetic,
referenced, so that pitch and roll will have twice orbital frequency components due to the onboard
control system following the oblate geodetic Earth horizon. Note also that the yaw value will show
an orbital frequency component relative to the Earth fixed ground track due to the Earth rotation
relative to inertial coordinates. Values range from -180 to 180 degrees.
